Mite eating cheese

False-colour scanning electron micrograph of a soft bodied mite Acarus siro, feeding on a piece of mouldy cheese. The strands through which the mite crawls are hyphae of the fungus Penicillium sp. These mites are free living and widespread in association with human activity. They are one of several species that infests foods in the kitchen, including the germ of grains and cheese. Although not the cheese mite (Tyrolichus casei), they are a cheese mite. Magnification: x50 at 35mm size and x80 at 6x6cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of microscopic creatures. In this false-colour scanning electron micrograph, we witness a soft-bodied mite known as Acarus siro indulging in a feast on a piece of mouldy cheese. The delicate strands that serve as its pathway are none other than the hyphae of the Penicillium sp. fungus. Acarus siro is part of a diverse group of mites that thrive in human environments, making them commonly found companions to our daily activities. While they may not be specifically identified as cheese mites (Tyrolichus casei), they certainly fall under this category and contribute to the complex ecosystem within our kitchens. At magnifications of x50 for 35mm prints and x80 for 6x6cm prints, this image allows us to appreciate the remarkable details present within these tiny creatures. It highlights their unique feeding habits and provides insight into their role in nature's grand tapestry. As we delve into the mesmerizing realm of zoology through this photograph, it serves as a reminder that even the smallest organisms play significant roles in shaping our environment. Whether it be exploring wild life or studying arachnids, Science Photo Library continues to captivate us with stunning visuals like this one – an extraordinary glimpse into nature's hidden wonders.
