It's obviously an electron microscope image, but of what? Please do tell us. It's a cool looking bug. Prolly lives in all our eyebrows or something equally intimate.

Ok, we're a bunch of lazy dorks. Try saving the image to your Hd and you discover the name:

Peacockmite2CTuckerellasp

Punch a variation of that into Google image search and you'll find:

[en.wikipedia.org]

..with this exact image. It may or may not be a recent scientific discovery, but it sure is cool looking.

"The peacock mite (Tuckerella sp.), a beautiful but important pest on citrus is the Tropics, is shown on tea stem. Magnified about 65x."
