Caption:
Under a moderately high magnification of 587X, this scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image revealed some of the morphologic features displayed on the exoskeletal surface of an Anopheles dirus mosquito. Highlighted in the field of view was the mosquito's right antennal pedicel, as it attached to the head region at the clypeus. Each antenna consists of three main sections: the pedicel, which attaches the antennae to the clypeus, the scape, or mid-region between the pedicel and the last region, or flagellum, which is composed of varying numbers of smaller segments.
