Coloured SEM of a wasp (Vespa sp. ) in flight
Wasp in flight. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a wasp (Vespa sp.) in flight. Its large compound eyes (grey) are prominent on its head. Between the eyes are its antennae, used for sensing smells. Its jaws can be seen below its eyes. Most wasps are social insects, living in a nest founded in the spring by a lone queen. The queen concentrates on egg laying, while the workers gather food and tend the young. In the autumn, the workers leave the nest to die, while the queen prepares herself for hibernation.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a wasp (Vespa sp. ) in flight, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image reveals the remarkable details of this insect's anatomy. Its large compound eyes, elegantly grey, dominate its head and provide it with acute vision. Positioned between these eyes are its antennae, delicate sensory organs that enable the wasp to detect various scents in its environment. Below the eyes, we can observe its formidable jaws - a testament to its predatory nature. Wasps are known for their social behavior and most species live together in nests established by solitary queens during springtime. These queens focus on egg-laying duties while workers gather food and care for the young ones. As autumn arrives, the workers abandon their nest and meet their inevitable demise while the queen prepares herself for hibernation. The magnification used to capture this mesmerizing image remains unknown but serves as a reminder of how science allows us to explore even the tiniest wonders of our natural world. This photograph not only highlights the fascinating characteristics of wasps but also celebrates zoology, wild life, and all forms of nature photography.
