digg

I see pages and links like this maybe weekly, but they never fail to amaze me. Macro photography is fun as hell, and once you get the gear for it you can't stop.

"O RLY?"

Cringe!.

Bugz shouldnt be photographed in that many megapixels!

Despite being really good photographs... some of these insects really scare me...

I for one welcome our new insect overlords.

Think some of the creatures in the "Spore" demo look funny? All you have to do is look in your backyard for the aliens among us.

Some of them seemed to have almost human poses. For example http://pishmo.com/macro/zhuchki_29.jpg.
Doesn't he just look so content?

Think about the camera and the macro lens being used to take those pictures - sick!

Very cool, but with all I know I'm looking at possible bosses out of the next Resident Evil... anyone care to label them?

When I saw that second picture, the one of the fat caterpillar, my first thought was "Slimy yet satisfying!"

The one where the praymantis is eating the head of another insect is kinda gross... yet somehow cool because of the high resolution.

Hah! That insect in the 5th picture has the right idea, using your ass to scratch your head!

Alien Invasion!!!

Man, I wish I could always have a truckload of lighting rigs on me when snapping macro shots in the outdoors -- nearly impossible to get anything close to these with natural light, alas.

Great shots of mantids -- my favorite insects. The only insect that can turn its head 180 degrees and look over its shoulder. Just so alien and fascinating.

The scary thing about the mantis pictures on my monitor is that, if I ever saw a mantis head that big it would be busy already eating me.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
Even if you're afraid of them, those are some amazing creatures, you have to admit.
And some of those are just so cute and fuzzy! /Girly
I love insects. :)

BTW, I want whatever camera the photographer used.

I like the two random frogs.

#2's head looks like the head of a dick

EDIT:yeah, sorry about that

How they do it?
awesome!........

For those who liked these photos, you should watch the movie Microcosmos.
imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117040/

I'd squish that.

Hmmm...I think the stag beetle was giving me that come-on stare. What a flirt. I told him last week that we were through, so now he's being coy. He just doesn't understand that it's way too creepy to have to pick up his discarded husks every time he hits a growth spurt.

I thought this site was on digg last year?

God is truly a genius in design.

INCREDIBLE and AMAZING would most accurately describe this set, especially the 3rd from the bottom

^you forgot "ewwww"! They are amazing in design but seriously, yuk!

I have a model train. It eats raisin cake.

i hate bugs, and this didn't help.

wtf is that first bug? That punk rock hair is crazy...

I don't think we have those in the states.

Scary as hell!
I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight.

RE VOLT IN!!! I won't be able to sleep now. Thanks. I really hate bugs, I don't mind spiders too much because the eat the bugs, but these pictures are too much and too cool at the same time. I'm just getting into this stuff and was lucky enough to spot this guy outside my apt. door.

Maybe his family will get rid of all the bugs this guy got pictures of.

I want whatever amazing camera took those pictures; the focus and quality is insane.

...You must have been a beautiful baaaaby, cause baby look at you.....come on... sing along!

Brak?!

"Genius in design"? What an inflammatory and rather idiotic thing to say. Time to read some science textbooks that haven't been vandalised by Bush

The same post again?

check it out .... ¬¬

WOW! That was incredible! Thank YOU!

That ***** is bananas, B - A - N - A - N ....

somebody had the right idea of making them small.. imagine if they were having the size of a man. scary

Dugg down for being only 98% about insects, there are a couple of frog pictures included. Frogs are not insects. [sarcasm]

No really, cool photos, but if I saw any of these things in real life I would probably scream like a little girl rather then stop and take its picture.

Thats some of the most coolest ***** i ever saw! Not sure why the tree frog was thrown in, maybe just for kicks (har dee har).

Anybody have a working mirror? Site is down now.
