Organisms

Figure 1: The tsetse fly transmits sleeping sickness and is a dreaded pest in parts of Africa south of the Sahara. . . The proboscis, large for a fly but indispensable for one which lives by piercing the skin and sucking the blood of warm-blooded creatures, is at bottom, pointing toward the viewer. The eyes are the two huge oval structures on the sides of the head; small individual facets are just visible. 70X-Eastman Kodak Company, Industrial Laboratory (Gilmore, 1974).
