Hover fly, SEM
Hover fly. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head and upper body of a hover fly (family Syrphidae) seen from the side. The large compound eyes (red, one seen) dominate the head. Two short antennae protrude at right of the eyes, sensing smell and touch. The hover fly feeds on nectar and pollen, which it sucks through modified mouthparts (lower right, behind leg). Several of the hover flys six legs are seen, attached to its thorax (centre left). Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a hover fly, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image offers a close-up view of the head and upper body of this fascinating insect from the side. The most striking feature is its large compound eyes, one of which is prominently displayed in vibrant red coloration. Positioned to the right of these mesmerizing eyes are two short antennae that play a crucial role in sensing both smell and touch. The hover fly, belonging to the Syrphidae family, derives nourishment from nectar and pollen. To accomplish this, it utilizes modified mouthparts located at its lower right side behind one leg. As we explore further into this microscopic world, several legs attached to its thorax become visible on the left side of the image. While magnification details are unknown for this particular photograph, it undeniably highlights nature's remarkable intricacies within an insect's anatomy. This print not only appeals to those with an interest in zoology or entomology but also serves as a reminder of how diverse and awe-inspiring our natural world truly is.
