Amazing Insect Images By Igor Iwanowicz (60 pics)

Beautiful photographs.
Macro photography is such a fun thing.

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

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

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

Nice pictures, but little bit too theatrical.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

The aliens are amongst us...

excellent macro photography

I'm sure glad us people are bigger and not smaller than these creatures!

Such a diverse subject matter. Beautiful shots. Excellent presentation. If I could rate this it'd be a 10+

R-R

You can't show that many outrageous unheard of animals and not at least name them - you're going to all the trouble to find them and to make them interesting; it's a pretty serious let-down to not have them identified as I'm sure just about everybody who looks at them wants to know what the heck they're called.

a whole new world, that insect life. these are beyond brilliant.

Amazing photos! - I too would like a bit more info: name of insect, what it's doing, maybe...
But incredible, and remarkable to think about the diversity at a level we barely notice.

Can't wait to chatch them on the cooking channel

insects are just so gross, especially when you can see they actually have faces.

Props on the fetal bird halfway though... didn't know those counted as insects..
