The insects in this set of images are no more than a few centimeters long, and through macro photography, Yudy Sauw from Indonesia shows us the amazing details of the insects' heads.
From this set of pictures, the compound eyes and bristles of the head of the housefly can be clearly seen. Houseflies are one of the most widely distributed insects in the world, covered with protruding bristles all over their bodies.
The head of a jumping spider can see 4 eyes. In fact, there are 4 other eyes on the back of the thorax of the jumping spider's head. When shooting, Yudy Sauw used focus composite image technology to combine multiple images taken at different focal lengths.
The jumping spider, also known as the fly tiger, is small in size and has developed eyesight. They generally do not weave nets, and when they hunt, they will gradually approach and then jump on the prey.
The peculiar head of the moth, pinnate antennae can be seen. The antennae of butterflies are usually stick-shaped, while the antennae of moths are very diverse, including filamentous, pinnate, serrated and so on.
The head of the butterfly. Butterfly dragonflies resemble dragonflies in appearance, but they are actually distant relatives of flies, and are more distantly related to dragonflies and bean maidens. The vast majority of butterfly-horned frogs have long antennae.
The head of the dragonfly is very rounded and the compound eyes are large. They are ferocious predators in the insect kingdom, able to eat all food equal to their own weight in 30 minutes.
Horse flies are larger than the average fly, have fine hairs on the surface of their bodies, and feed mainly on the blood of mammals.
Horse flies are mainly distributed in the tropics, and during breeding, the larvae can burrow into the skin of animals and feed on subcutaneous tissue.
A strange-looking horned cicada. Horned cicadas have sucking mouthparts, and they are best known for their various strangely shaped protrusions on the dorsal plate of the forebreast, similar to plant spines or protrusions.
The aphid-eating fly looks a lot like a bee, often stays above the flowers, feeds on nectar and pollen, and is an important pollinator. In fact, the non-toxic aphid fly disguised as a bee with a chelated needle is a very effective means of defense.
The head of the water fly. Most of the species of the water flies are scavengers.
Insects of the water flies family are commonly used to treat animal feces and decaying organic matter, such as rotten fruits, carrion, etc., which in itself become a high-value source of animal protein feed.
Dragonflies have well-developed jaws that they can bite their prey and facilitate feeding.
A yellow-black weevil. Weevils are the most diverse of Coleoptera , with more than 60,000 known species worldwide. Their mouthparts are long, like the nose of an elephant.
