  • A Sunflower seen in simulated insect vision. In this image the UV reflectivity from the flower has been added to a normal human vision image to create one interpretation of what an insect might see. The image shows the different patterns on the flower petals as perceived by insects that can see well into the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. These special patterns that have evolved to attract insects to the flower are called honey guides. This image is part of a series showing the same flower in ultraviolet (UV) radiation, visible light, insect vision, and simulated bee vision.

  • A Sunflower seen in one form of simulated “bee vision” or insect vision. Since many insects have vision that ranges from the yellow to the ultraviolet part of the spectrum, this image has been adjusted to have the areas of highest reflectivity in the green part of the spectrum. This sunflower image shows the different patterns on the flower petals as perceived by insects that can see well into the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. These special patterns that have evolved to attract insects to the flower are called honey guides. This image is part of a series showing the same flower in ultraviolet (UV) radiation, visible light, insect vision, and simulated bee vision.

  • Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of a bedbug (Cimex sp.). It has a compound eye (grey) on each side of its head. Antennae protrude on either side of its mouth. The stylet, a piercing mouthpiece (red, center,) is used to suck blood from warm-blood animals, including humans. Bedbugs are generally only active at night, hiding in crevices in walls and furniture and in bedding during the day. Although they do not transmit disease, their saliva can cause itchy swellings on the skin.

  • Scanning electron microscope image of the mouth parts of a mosquito larva (family Culicidae).  The collection of hairs (light brown) are feeding structures used to filter water. The hairs beat through the water filtering out algae, bacteria and other micro-organisms that the larva feeds on.The calibration bar is 100 um and was take at a magnification of 1,440 x. ..
