Butterfly proboscis, SEM
Butterfly proboscis. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the coiled tip of a proboscis of a swallowtail butterfly (Papilio sp.). The proboscis is an elongated hollow tube that is used to suck up nectar and other liquids. The spikes protruding from the coiled tip are sensilla, which are sensory organs that allow the butterfly to taste its food

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a butterfly proboscis. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the coiled tip belonging to a swallowtail butterfly from the Papilio species. The proboscis, an elongated hollow tube, serves as a vital tool for these graceful creatures to extract nectar and other liquids from flowers. What truly captivates our attention in this image are the spikes protruding from the coiled tip. These spikes are known as sensilla, sensory organs that enable butterflies to taste their food. Through these delicate structures, they can discern and savor different flavors present in their environment. The false-colored magnified image allows us to appreciate the biological wonders hidden within nature's smallest subjects. It was captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), which reveals astonishing details otherwise invisible to the naked eye. As we delve into this microscopic world, it becomes evident how diverse and fascinating life forms can be. This photograph not only highlights the incredible anatomy of butterflies but also reminds us of their essential role as pollinators in our ecosystems. With its vibrant colors and meticulous composition, this print by Science Photo Library is perfect for anyone fascinated by zoology, biology, or simply enchanted by nature's remarkable creations.
