EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of a mite known as Varroa jacobsoni, which is an ectoparasite that preys on honeybees. The false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the astonishing details of this tiny creature. With its four pairs of legs, resembling those of ticks and spiders, it belongs to the arachnid family. Mites like these are not only fascinating but also play significant roles in nature. Many species possess blood-sucking mouthparts and can transmit diseases, making them potential vectors for various ailments. This image serves as a reminder of their importance in understanding wildlife ecosystems and their impact on honeybee populations. The photograph's magnification at x38 allows us to appreciate the minute intricacies present within this small subject matter. Measuring just 6x4.5cm in size, it captures every detail with remarkable clarity. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this moment from the natural world, offering viewers a glimpse into the hidden realm of invertebrates such as mites. It reminds us that even creatures we may overlook or consider insignificant have their own unique beauty and purpose within our ecosystem.
