Colorizing Electron Microscope Photos Deceptively/Incorrectly
Some 'science' photo libraries areโฆquestionable.
This photo claims to be "Ant carrying aphid egg, SEM" colorized to highlight the "egg" but look closely!
It's NOT an egg. That's just part of the ant's mouth! To understand what's wrong, take a look at the second set of photos by Hugo Darras. You can see the "egg" is part of her maxillae, the part she uses to collect liquid.
How did they decide it was an aphid egg?
Most aphids don't even lay eggs...they give live birth!
