The weird and wonderful

igor_iwanowicz_50Igor Siwanowicz’s macro photography reveals the wild details of some of the smallest creatures on earth.  I think it would be safe to say that most people shy away from insects and occasionally run screaming, but I also believe that it would be safe to say that most people could not deny the intricate beauty that exists in the structure of insect bodies.

I also found out today the praying mantis can see up to 60 feet.  Perhaps that spooky feeling like someone is watching you isn’t all in your head ;) I wonder what other insects have eye sight like that?
