Scale insect
An unidentified scale insect feeding on the leaf of a poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherina. Scale insects are atypical insects in that mature females have no wings and are often legless. The males are winged but are so small that they usually escape notice. Adult males have no proboscis and so cannot feed.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of scale insects. In this image, an unidentified scale insect can be seen delicately feeding on a leaf of a vibrant poinsettia plant, known scientifically as Euphorbia pulcherina. Scale insects are fascinating creatures that deviate from the typical insect anatomy - mature females lack wings and are often legless, while males possess wings but are so minuscule that they frequently go unnoticed. The photograph beautifully captures the minute details of this elusive insect species, highlighting its unique characteristics within the realm of nature's diversity. The striking contrast between the vivid green leaf and the tiny scale insect creates a visually stunning composition that draws viewers into this microcosmic world. As we delve into zoology and explore wild life through photography, it is crucial to appreciate every facet of our natural surroundings. This image serves as a reminder that even seemingly inconspicuous organisms like scale insects play vital roles in ecosystems. While adult males cannot feed due to their absence of proboscis, they contribute to biodiversity through their reproductive functions. Science Photo Library continues to provide us with awe-inspiring glimpses into various scientific disciplines, including entomology and invertebrate studies. Through images like these, we gain deeper insights into our planet's rich tapestry of life forms and develop a greater appreciation for all creatures great and small.
