EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a moth's head, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Against a striking black background, the moth's profile is highlighted, drawing attention to its fascinating features. The large compound eyes take center stage, with one eye visible in a mesmerizing shade of pink. Perched on top of the head are two delicate antennae that play an essential role in sensing movement and smell. Working in harmony with these antennae are the maxillary palps, located between the eyes, which further enhance the moth's sensory abilities. The image offers a glimpse into nature's remarkable diversity and complexity. It invites us to appreciate the beauty found within even the tiniest creatures that inhabit our world. Through this SEM photograph, we gain insight into entomology and zoology as we marvel at how evolution has shaped every aspect of this moth's biology. Photographer Susumu Nishinaga skillfully captures this moment using advanced imaging technology. His expertise allows us to explore wildlife from an entirely new perspective – one that reveals hidden wonders beyond what can be seen by the naked eye alone.
