Cockchafer beetle, SEM
Cockchafer. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of a cockchafer beetle, or May bug (Melolontha melolontha). This beetle lays its eggs under the soil, where the larvae spend three to five years feeding on plant roots. They pupate in autumn and overwinter in the soil as adults, before emerging in large numbers in spring. The adults mate and lay eggs, and die after a few weeks

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Cockchafer beetle, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors and sharp focus bring to life the head of this fascinating insect, scientifically known as Melolontha melolontha or May bug. The Cockchafer beetle follows an intriguing life cycle. It begins by laying its eggs beneath the soil, where the larvae spend three to five years nourishing themselves on plant roots. As autumn arrives, they pupate and hibernate in their adult form within the soil until spring emerges. With the arrival of warmer weather, these beetles burst forth in large numbers. In this image, we witness a single adult Cockchafer beetle with its distinct antennae prominently displayed. These antennae play a crucial role in sensing their environment and communicating with other members of their species during mating season. While short-lived – typically surviving only a few weeks – these remarkable creatures fulfill their purpose by reproducing and laying eggs before succumbing to nature's course. This photograph not only captures the beauty of this common yet often overlooked insect but also serves as a reminder of the vast diversity found within our natural world. It is an excellent addition for enthusiasts interested in nature, wildlife, zoology, entomology or simply appreciating biological wonders up close.
