EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a moth proboscis, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Moths belong to the order Lepidoptera and possess this elongated mouth part known as the proboscis. This specialized structure is primarily used for sipping nectar and other liquids from flowers. The coiled nature of the proboscis is clearly visible in this image, resembling an elegant spiral. At its tip, sensory taste sensilla can be observed in striking blue hues. These sensilla play a crucial role in allowing moths to detect and discern different flavors. With a magnification of x35 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph provides us with an up-close view of one of nature's remarkable creations. The false coloring technique employed adds vibrancy to the image while highlighting important anatomical details. As we delve into the world of zoology and entomology, it becomes evident that even seemingly small organisms like moths possess fascinating biological structures worth exploring. This print serves as a testament to both their aesthetic appeal and scientific significance. Captured by Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional wildlife photography, this image invites us to appreciate the wonders found within our natural world without any commercial intent or mention thereof.
