Beautiful image of a Gipsy Moth Antenna

Many thanks to Robert Ratford for posting this beatiful image of a Gipsy Moth antenna on the Amateur Microscopy Facebook Group. Robert tells us that these moths can sense each other’s smells over large distances using these antennae.

Robert is a fantastic advocate for microscopy and a huge source of knowledge and enthusiasm. Ask him about visiting your school or club you will not be disappointed. https://www.facebook.com/robert.ratford.5

Robert captured this image on an ioLight high resolution 1mm portable microscope.
