Slightly creepy, but so interesting!

Neat-o! If anything was going to make me feel more comfortable around bugs, this would be the answer!

I love those photos. So fun. I'm already an insect lover, so that helps.

This is only sort of related, but one of my favorite photographers takes photos of insects covered in dew. The resulting effect is quite amazing-- in some of the photos, they look more like precious gems than real creatures. I'll post one here.
