EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Tortoise beetle, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the mesmerizing underside of a green tortoise beetle (Cassida viridis), displaying its three pairs of jointed legs and delicate antennae. Aptly named for its body's sideways and forward extensions resembling a tortoise's carapace when viewed from above, this fascinating creature is known for feeding on leaves. While some species of tortoise beetles can be pests in gardens and crops, their presence in nature adds to the diversity of our wild life. With a magnification factor of x40 when printed at 10cm wide, this photograph by Steve Gschmeissner offers an up-close glimpse into the world of zoology and entomology. The false-colored SEM image allows us to appreciate the incredible details that are often hidden to the naked eye. From the single piercing eyes to each leg's precise structure, every element contributes to our understanding of these herbivorous insects. The vibrant colors and sharp focus make this print an ideal addition for any nature enthusiast or biology lover's collection. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly small creatures lies immense complexity waiting to be explored. This stunning portrayal invites contemplation about our coexistence with these tiny yet significant members of our ecosystem – reminding us that there is always more than meets the eye in the world around us.
