Bean aphid
Bean aphid (Aphis fabae), artwork. This is a wingless female adult. It is able to reproduce parthenogentically (asexual reproduction), giving birth to pregnant offspring. This phenomenon is known as telescoping generations. The outlines of the young can be seen inside her. The stages of growth of a juvenile have been reproduced alongside the adult (right). The adults measure 2- 3mm in length

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of the Bean aphid, specifically a wingless female adult. In this artwork, we witness the remarkable phenomenon of parthenogenesis, where this female is capable of reproducing asexually and giving birth to pregnant offspring. Known as telescoping generations, the outlines of these young can be observed within her very body. The artist has skillfully depicted not only the adult aphid but also included stages of growth for a juvenile alongside it on the right side. This attention to detail allows us to appreciate both ends of their life cycle in one striking image. Measuring between 2-3mm in length, these tiny creatures play an essential role in nature's delicate balance. However, they are often considered pests due to their ability to harm plants and crops. Through this illustration, we gain insight into the fascinating world of biology and entomology while marveling at nature's incredible reproductive mechanisms. The black bean aphid (Aphis fabae) serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant organisms possess extraordinary abilities. Science Photo Library continues its mission by providing us with thought-provoking visuals that bridge art and science seamlessly. This particular piece invites us into an unseen realm where beauty meets scientific discovery without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company.
