EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a female lone star tick, scientifically known as Amblyomma americanum. Native to the southeastern and south-central regions of the United States, this remarkable arthropod is an important vector for the spirochete bacteria Borrelia lonestari. The presence of this bacterium in the tick's bite can lead to a Lyme disease-like rash called southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI). The intricate details captured in this image highlight the beauty and complexity of nature's creatures. With its distinct dorsal markings and delicate features, this female lone star tick stands out against a backdrop of lush greenery. As an ectoparasite, this tick relies on other organisms for survival, making it both fascinating and potentially harmful to humans and animals alike. Its role as a disease vector underscores its significance within the field of biology. Displayed by Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional wildlife photography, this print serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature's wonders. It invites us to appreciate not only the diversity found within our ecosystems but also highlights the importance of understanding these organisms' impact on human health.
