I took a series of photos for Dan Peach’s defense seminar with his study species. Since we did a bunch of work on UV vision in mosquitos, we wanted to take a UV photo of the mosquito on the flower while keeping Dan’s eyes in frame in the background. This took some careful positioning to get everything in frame but I’m quite pleased with the results. In addition to the “bullseye” the UV photograph also reveals Dan’s many freckles.
