I'm just plain awestruck!

Mesmerizing! The variety of the unseen life around us boggles the mind.

You need to go to Peru's northern Dept. of Amazonas where the Amazon leaves the world's 2nd highest mountains to enter the Basin. The north half of Peru gets less than 2% of gringos and just became accessible. A waterfall almost 3 times as high as the Eiffel Tower was just discovered last year, a testimony of birds and insects waiting to be discovered.

Very cool imagery, Igor!

[Reply]

beautiful and a little creepy

[Reply]

Absolutely amazing!!! If you could provide a bit of info - even just the name of the insect - I would be delighted...

Thanks for the terrific pics

[Reply]

ummm... the one above the copulating grasshoppers is actually a baby bird. cool pic, but doesn't belong with this group.

[Reply]

@bart -- I just noticed that myself. And -- is it a baby? Or... a fetus? Do they hatch that young? Its eyelids haven't slit yet. A vertebrate hidden amidst our flashy arthropoda, using biomimicry as camouflage! (It looks just as creepy-crawly as the rest.)

Wow, this guy has seriously raised the bar in photomacrography.
It's no longer about just shooting the insects, but adding a concept to the shot!
Brilliant and truly creative.

Tapatío, I have one word for you: ESTÚPIDO.

If it wasn't for insects we'd probably be dead or swimming in our own waste (not that we aren't already).

very nice picture

[Reply]

Dude, those shots are brilliant!

[Reply]

You have a baby bird and a spider in your 'Insect' images...

[Reply]

Absolutely brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at those pictures, something we would otherwise struggle to see with our own eyes. Truly amazing pictures, an inspiration - quality. Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful work.

[Reply]

Beautiful pictures.

Have to admit I had one hand on a can of Raid for some of them...

[Reply]

bart,

Since you're into nitpicking, you'll probably be interested to know that those grasshoppers aren't actually doing the deed. It's easy to tell with such a close-up photo. He's just along for the ride.

[Reply]

I can tell by the pixels!

[Reply]

Impresionantes.......

Sick man... sick.
Best insect pics I've ever seen.

Beautiful photographs.
Macro photography is such a fun thing.

[Reply]

Oh god this is one of the scariest things I've ever seen - and I use 4chan.

[Reply]

really? you all think these are real? hmmm they are fake. oh and to the guy that says those grass hoppers are not "doing the deed" hes wrong too, they are get your information right before you voice your options please

[Reply]

Aliens are gere to stay. And guess what, they're beautiful.
This is pure art. Thanks!

[Reply]

Nice pictures, but little bit too theatrical.

[Reply]

tim,
if they are fake they obviously can't be doing the deed.

anyway, these photos are beautiful..REGARDLESS of whether or not the bugs are real, fake, actually birds, or getting it on.

[Reply]

Awesome photos, especially loved the mantises (sp?) and the woodlice (aka- roly-poly bugs). Gave me a bit of a new perspective on insects, although some, I may continue to squish...hehe

[Reply]

Absolutely beautiful.

other worldly. thanx.

I have lost the ability to confidently distinguish between real and edited photographs anymore. There are too many effects that photographers can apply to make their photos look different (not real), and so many ways an artist can make a image that is photorealistic. On top of that, there are many, many strange and unbelievable images that I have seen on the internet that ARE real. I have seen many exuberantly colored insects both in photos and real life. However, the rainbow colors of some of these insects makes me doubt their authenticity. I don't think I will ever be able to tell again.

[Reply]

The posters who said they were looking for a can of raid or DDT are truly ignorant idiots and I feel sorry for them.

Nature is beautiful.

[Reply]

Max Capacity,
They are certainly authentic photographs.

But, you ask, are the photographs authentic?

Who cares?, I reply. Their 'authenticity' matters only if the images are presented as documentation of biological specimens - left brain stuff. Because the photographer has chosen to sign HIS name to each photo, rather than the genus/species of the insects - I believe they are presented as art - to be enjoyed by the right side of the brain.

When you start asking what is real and what is not, who knows where you might end up?

[Reply]

а вот я тут тоже написал, и вам ничего не понятно. А вообще интересные насекомые, и фотки хорошие.

[Reply]

Mad, you russian is great :) Try to learn English anyway:) Ask your mother,she can help you. And make pics of you spiders...- I know you have them
