EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a moth's antenna. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of the sensory hairs that adorn the antenna, revealing their crucial role in detecting touch and vibrations. Against a striking black background, these delicate bristles stand out, emphasizing their importance in the moth's ability to navigate its environment. Moth antennae serve as multifunctional tools for survival. Not only do they detect physical stimuli, but they also play a vital role in sensing pheromones and locating food sources. The vibrant colours captured by SEM highlight the complexity and sophistication of nature's design. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, it becomes evident that every aspect of an organism serves a purpose within its ecosystem. This photograph invites us to appreciate the wonders of zoology and entomology, reminding us that even seemingly insignificant creatures possess remarkable adaptations. The work of SUSUMU NISHINAGA from Science Photo Library allows us to explore the microscopic world with awe-inspiring clarity. It encourages us to marvel at how evolution has shaped each species' unique attributes and reminds us that there is still much left to discover about our natural world.
