Coenosia fly eating a drosophila
Fly eating another fly. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a large fly (Coenosia humilis, orange) eating a smaller fruit fly (Drosophila sp.). Predatory insects such as this usually use a long proboscis to puncture their preys hard outer layer and suck the softer innards out, leaving a dry husk. Magnification: x20 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating moment in the world of insects. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph, we witness a Coenosia fly indulging in an unexpected meal - another fly. The larger orange-hued Coenosia humilis is seen using its long proboscis to puncture the hard outer layer of a smaller fruit fly, known as Drosophila sp. Predatory insects like this employ their specialized mouthparts to extract the softer innards of their prey, leaving behind nothing but a dry husk. At a magnification of 20 times and printed at 6x7cm size, every intricate detail is brought to life. The image offers us an intriguing glimpse into the complex dynamics of nature's food chain. It reminds us that even within the tiny realm of insects, survival instincts drive creatures to exploit available resources for sustenance. As we marvel at this snapshot from the wild, it serves as a reminder that there is so much more happening around us than meets the eye. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and diversity found in our natural world but also highlights how crucial each organism's role is within ecosystems. Through images like these captured by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into zoology and entomology while appreciating both the wonders and harsh realities present in nature's delicate balance.
