EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a small tortoiseshell butterfly's head. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the mesmerizing features that make this insect truly remarkable. At the upper right, we are drawn to its compound eye, which is composed of numerous individual lenses allowing for exceptional vision and perception. Directly below the compound eye, our attention is captured by its coiled proboscis, elegantly displayed at lower center. This flexible tube-like structure serves as a vital tool for feeding on nectar and other liquid sustenance. When unrolled, it becomes an elongated straw-like appendage enabling the butterfly to extract nourishment from flowers with precision and grace. The small tortoiseshell butterfly (Aglais urticae) depicted in this image can be found throughout Europe. Its vibrant colors and distinct patterns make it easily recognizable among its fellow winged creatures. With a magnification of x10 at 5x7cm size or x26 at 5x7ins size, every minute detail has been meticulously captured in this photograph. As nature enthusiasts delve into the world of zoology and insects alike, this print offers an up-close encounter with one of nature's most enchanting creations. It serves as a testament to both the beauty and complexity found within these delicate creatures while reminding us of their crucial role in our ecosystem as pollinators.
