Alex Wild's bug photography

I'm enjoying Alex Wild's colorful bug photos. He's a biologist at the University of Illinois. This is a Thasus acutangulus nymph, taken in Mexico. "The bright colors advertise this bug's distastefulness," he writes.

Here he talks about the macro lens he uses for many of his shots, Canon's MP-E 1-5x macro.

Meet Van Moth, the artist who paints with bugs

He is the artist who paints without putting brush to canvas.
Instead, Steven Kutcher uses moths, beetles, spiders, flies, honey bees, butterflies, grasshoppers - and even Hissing Cockroaches from Madagascar.
He dips the insects in paint, places them on a blank canvas and lets their movement create a string of colorful paintings.
The artist, who lives in Los Angeles, is a keen environmentalist and says he ensures his paint-soaked insects are unharmed.
He said: "I use water-based, nontoxic gouache paints which easily wash off. I have to take good care of them. After all, they are artists."
Mr Kutcher's bug art grew out of his work as an insect-handler for Hollywood films, including Spider-Man - he helped paint the tiny red and-blue spider that took a bite out of star Tobey Maguire and turned him into the superhero.
The artist's interest in insects began on childhood summer holidays in the Catskill Mountains of New York, where he collected fireflies. LINK
