Pollen on stink bug, SEM
Pollen grains (orange) on the leg of a stink bug (order Hemiptera), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Pollen grains are the male sex cells of a flowering plant. Many insects that feed on plants and plant juices act as pollinators, carrying pollen from one flower to another, which can fertilise the plant. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of pollination. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness a close-up view of a stink bug's leg adorned with vibrant orange pollen grains. These tiny particles, known as male sex cells in flowering plants, play a crucial role in plant reproduction. The image highlights the fascinating relationship between insects and plants. Many insects, including stink bugs from the Hemiptera order, act as vital pollinators by feeding on plants and their juices. As they move from one flower to another, these diligent creatures inadvertently carry pollen along with them. This process enables fertilization and ultimately contributes to the survival and diversity of plant species. The magnification used for capturing this mesmerizing scene remains unknown but reveals an astonishing level of detail. The hairy surface of the stink bug's leg is covered in numerous pollen grains, emphasizing its effectiveness as a carrier between flowers. Through this remarkable photograph, Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate nature's intricate mechanisms that sustain life on our planet. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant interactions like those between insects and plants can have profound impacts on ecosystems worldwide.
