  • Rat-tailed maggot breathing tube. Rat-tailed maggots are the larvae of certain species of hoverfly, in this case a European Hoverfly {Eristalis tenax}. The tube is an adaptation to anaerobic environments, allowing the rat-tailed maggot to survive in stagnant water. Peak District National Park, Derbyshire,UK.

  • Trachea of a Silkworm (Bombycidae) caterpillar, imaged from an antique microscope slide. After entering through a spiracle, air moves into the trachea and then into smaller tubes called tracheoles, spreading throughout the body of the insect. In this way oxygen reaches different regions of the body. Focus-stacked image.

  • Pelagic Gooseneck Barnacle / Smooth Gooseneck Barnacle {Lepas anatifera} showing extended cirri, thoracic legs covered in sensory hairs with which the barnacle filters plankton from the water to eat. The cirri also contain gills for breathing. This species is found attached to flotsam floating at sea. Photographed against a white background in mobile field studio. Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK. January.

  • Raft Spider (Dolomedes fimbriatus) female underwater, breathing from the air bubble trapped around her body. Raft Spiders are able to escape danger by running underwater. This indivdual was also observed predating a water beetle whilst underwater. Highlands, Scotland, UK. May.

  • Diatoms on a microscope slide, arranged by the late diatomist Klaus Kemp. Diatoms are single-celled algae whose cell walls are constructed from silica and are known as a frustule. Diatoms produce approximately 25% of the oxgen we breathe as well as being central to the global carbon cycle, responsible for approximately 20% of global carbon fixation through photosynthesis. Diatoms are thought to be major contributors to crude oil deposits, following their deposition and burial on the ocean floor. Specific diatom biomarkers are currently used to locate potential sites for crude oil drilling. Focus-stacked, inverted image. This circular composition is 0.9 mm across. Image is x67 magnification when printed at 10 cm across.
