EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a female mosquito head. The image reveals the dominant feature of its large compound eyes, resembling black spheres that command attention. Sprouting from the head are long, feather-like antennae, which serve as sensory organs covered in delicate hairs. These antennae allow the mosquito to perceive its surroundings with remarkable sensitivity. One cannot miss the long and slender proboscis protruding from the head, an essential tool for feeding. Interestingly, only female mosquitoes feed on blood, making this aspect of their biology both fascinating and crucial for their survival. The monochrome composition adds a touch of elegance to this snapshot of nature's wonders. It highlights not only the beauty but also emphasizes important anatomical features such as organs and sensors within this tiny insect's body. With a magnification factor of x40 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail is brought to life in stunning clarity.
