The common insects that we hardly look at, mostly despise and even abhor, become artistic intricate objects when photographed by Igor Siwanowich. They alternatively resemble precision-made Japanese expensive toys, or furry-cuddly-plushy somethings that any mother and kid would love. In any way, they seem to transcend the fact that they are simply… you know, insects.
Eupackardia calleta
Bad hair day:
Plush Moth:
Larva of a sawfly, Cimbex femorata.:
Delirium, featuring Brachypelma smithi spiders:
Idolomantis diabolica – Devil’s Flower Mantis:
The Secret Council:
He’s back:
Cyclommatus – stag beetles – “locking horns”:
We have to admit these critters look well-dressed enough to be admitted to the Royal Ball Dance, or something similarly glamorous.

“Mug-shots” for the Micropolitan Gallery
Another gorgeous macro-photography set is on display at Micropolitan Museum. The photos are by Wim van Egmond. Make sure to check out the whole collection. Some mugshots are frankly quite ugly, re-enforcing our general dislike of flies and spiders. All are fascinating, though.
