Sand flea mouthparts, SEM
Sand flea mouthparts. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the piercing mouthparts of a female sand flea, or chigger, (Tunga penetrans). The female of this tropical flea 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. Bacteria (red) can be seen on this chigger. Magnification: x2100 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.
