Bugs are scary

These days digital cameras can take pictures with downright breathtaking quality of color and detail. A sweet deal… but then someone had to go and take pictures of bugs close up and holy crap these guys are freaky looking! It’s actually pretty remarkable how intricate the features of a tiny little insect are, when you get right down to it. Anyway if you have a moment or two, find your nearest enemy and put one of these up as their desktop background:

If you also happen to own a 5000$ camera you might try taking some pictures of bugs yourself, this guy gives some tutorials. He managed to get some of his pictures into National Geographic!

  1. If by freaky you mean beautiful, I agree.

  2. Creepy and beautiful I think. I like ‘em a lot but the ones on his profile were way too much for me. Also, for some reason the pictures are not loading in “single article” view.

  3. Yeah that’s weird. I’ve been referencing them relative to the images directory, it appears it alters the paths in this view. I can start using full URL’s and see if it listens…
