Parasitic fly, SEM Z340 / 0605
Parasitic fly. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the fly Ornithomyia avicularia. This is a parasite of nesting birds, especially house martins and swallows. Two large compound eyes (red) dominate its head. The mouthparts, seen below the eyes, include sensory hairs. These hairs are also seen on the rest of the body. The legs are segmented, and end in claws and pads to grip surfaces. This fly is on a feather. On top of the flys head is a triangle of red dots. These are the ocelli, simple eyes that detect variations in light intensity. Magnification: x13 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a parasitic fly known as Ornithomyia avicularia. With its vibrant colors and astonishing features, this fly is a fascinating subject for zoology enthusiasts. The SEM Z340 / 0605 image reveals the dominance of two large compound eyes in striking red hues, capturing our attention immediately. Positioned below these eyes are sensory hairs that extend throughout the body, aiding in navigation and survival. The segmented legs of this parasitic fly end with sharp claws and pads designed to firmly grip surfaces, enabling it to move effortlessly across various terrains. In this particular photograph, we see the fly perched on a delicate feather, showcasing its ability to adapt and thrive within nesting bird environments such as those inhabited by house martins and swallows. Notably, atop the fly's head lies a triangle of red dots called ocelli – simple eyes capable of detecting variations in light intensity. This unique feature adds another layer of intrigue to an already remarkable creature. With a magnification level of x13 when printed at 10cm wide, this image allows us to appreciate the beauty found within nature's smallest creations. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant organisms play vital roles in our ecosystem.
