Sand flea, SEM
Sand flea. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a male sand flea, or chigger, (Tunga penetrans) on its host's skin. The male of this flea spends little time on the host, mating with the female before leaving. The fertilised female then burrows head-first into the skin of its host and drinks its blood. She swells to many times her normal size as she does so, before bursting and releasing eggs. The area around the bite is painful and itchy, and often becomes infected. Magnification: x50 at 6x6cm size.
