Description
Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a foreleg of the larva of the Rhine mosquito (Oligoneuriella rhenana), a mayfly. The heavily feathered legs support the filtration of food from the water in which this mayfly larvae live. This larva is ideally adapted to the current in streams thanks to its flat head and elongated body. Those called August mosquitoes, Rhine gnats or bait mosquitoes refer to adults appearing in late July and especially in August in huge swarms. Magnification is 100x at 12x12cm image size.
