Stalk-eyed fly, SEM C014 / 4882
Stalk-eyed fly. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of a stalk-eyed fly (family Diopsidae). Stalk-eyed flies are mostly tropical insects, with one species being found in North America. The length of the stalks that their eyes are on varies and can be as long as their bodies. Although having their eyes on stalks allows a greater range of vision, it also poses an aerodynamic handicap. Magnification: x40 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a stalk-eyed fly, belonging to the family Diopsidae. The scanning electron micrograph (SEM) focuses on the fly's head, revealing its unique feature of eyes positioned on elongated stalks. These fascinating insects are predominantly found in tropical regions, although one species can be spotted in North America. The length of these eye stalks varies among individuals and can even match their own body length. While this anatomical adaptation allows for an expanded field of vision, it also presents an aerodynamic challenge for these flies. Despite this handicap, they have managed to thrive in their natural habitats. At a magnification of x40 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail is brought to life through vibrant colors and precise imaging techniques. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the world of these remarkable creatures but also serves as a testament to the wonders of nature's diversity. With its blend of artistry and scientific exploration, this image captures the essence of zoology and biology. It invites us to appreciate the complexity and ingenuity present within even the tiniest members of our animal kingdom. Whether you are an enthusiast or simply intrigued by nature's marvels, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its stunning portrayal of a stalk-eyed fly in all its glory.
