Dock bug C018 / 2474
Dock bug. Close-up of a dock bug (Coreus marginatus), showing its speckled body and one of its large compound eyes (round, upper right). Each compound eye is made up of numerous simple eyes called ommatidia. Each ommatidium sends a signal to the flys brain, which combines the thousands of images to form a mosaic view of the world. The image is not sharp but is excellent at detecting movement. Dock bugs feed on the leaves and seeds of dock and sorrel plants

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a dock bug, scientifically known as Coreus marginatus. The close-up shot reveals its beautifully speckled body and one of its remarkable compound eyes, situated in the upper right corner like a round jewel. Each compound eye is composed of countless simple eyes called ommatidia, which work together to create a mosaic view of the world for this fascinating insect. Although not perfectly sharp, this image showcases the exceptional ability of dock bugs to detect movement with great precision. These creatures primarily sustain themselves by feeding on the leaves and seeds of dock and sorrel plants, showcasing their crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. The photograph provides an insight into the biology and anatomy of these arthropods. With their distinctive antennae and unique head structure, dock bugs exemplify nature's incredible diversity within the realm of insects. This visual marvel serves as a reminder that even seemingly small organisms possess extraordinary features worth exploring. Captured by Nicolas Reusens for Science Photo Library, this print encapsulates both artistry and scientific curiosity. It invites us to appreciate the wonders found within our natural world while shedding light on the often overlooked beauty residing in every nook and cranny – from grand landscapes to minuscule insects like this enchanting dock bug.
