Acarina Apis Mellifera Arachnid Arachnida Arachnids Honey Bee Infected Infestation Infested Mite Mites Parasite Parasites Parasitic


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of nature's tiny inhabitants. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a glimpse into the secret life of mites on a honeybee. The image reveals multiple mites, belonging to the order Acarina, clinging onto the body of an Apis mellifera, commonly known as a honeybee. These minuscule creatures, distant relatives of ticks and spiders, have established themselves as parasites on bees. Their presence is not only visually striking but also highlights the delicate balance within ecosystems. This infestation serves as a reminder that even seemingly harmonious relationships in nature can be disrupted by parasitic forces. With a magnification level of x50 when printed 10cm wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the minute details and complexity present in our natural surroundings. It offers valuable insights into zoology and wildlife studies while showcasing the fascinating world of invertebrates. The image captures both scientific curiosity and artistic beauty simultaneously. Through its vibrant colors and meticulous composition, it invites viewers to explore further into the realm of arachnids and their interactions with other species. This remarkable SEM print from Science Photo Library provides an opportunity for contemplation about symbiotic relationships gone awry – where one organism becomes infected by another – reminding us once again how interconnected all living beings truly are in our vast ecosystem.
