EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Gschmeissner showcases the intricate beauty of a cockroach like never before. With a black background that accentuates its features, this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) offers an up-close and personal view of the underside of this fascinating creature from the order Blattaria. Magnified to five times its actual size when printed at 10 cm wide, every detail is brought to life in vivid colors. The delicate antennae, which play a crucial role in navigation and sensory perception, are clearly visible along with the insect's six legs that enable it to scuttle across various terrains effortlessly. Often regarded as pests due to their association with unhygienic environments, this image reminds us of the remarkable biology and anatomy possessed by these resilient creatures. Cockroaches have been labeled living fossils for their ability to adapt and survive for millions of years. The false-colored SEM technique employed here adds an artistic touch while retaining scientific accuracy. This photograph serves as a testament to both zoological wonders and technological advancements in microscopy. Whether you appreciate nature's diversity or have an interest in entomology, this stunning print captures the essence of wild life through its portrayal of one small yet significant member - the cockroach.
