Secret world of insects revealed in fascinating science photos from the Natural News Forensic Food Lab
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) When I'm working in the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, I like to put the equipment to use for much more than just food investigations. Recently, I gathered some insects and brought them to the lab to take a closer look. At 200X magnification, fascinating details emerge.
What you see below is a collection of photos (and a video) resulting from my "insect investigation" at the lab. You'll see the tiny shingles that make up a butterfly wing and the structural support columns of a dragonfly wing.
Also check out the amazing grasshopper foot, the dragonfly head and the close-up of a scorpion's stinger, showing the poison reservoir that's pumped into the insect's victims.
You'll also see the stinger of a wasp, the claw arm of a scorpion and much more.
After checking out the photos, watch the video at the bottom of this article to see even more examples, including microscopic video of a tick, complete with its blood-siphoning "mouth" still in place.
For the record, no insects were harmed or killed to take these photos, except for the ticks which we fed to the chickens. Yumm! (All the other insects were already dead.)
Here are the photos:
