Popis:

"Under a moderate magnification of 294X, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) focused on the distal tip of a female “velvet ant’s”, Dasymutilla sp., stinger. Note that the stinger’s tip is encased in a bulbous sheath, which may act to protect the delicate sharp tip from being damaged, which would reduce its effectiveness when trying to penetrate its victim."
