This incredible gallery of images was blogged and re-blogged on plenty of sites last month. It’s a collection of insect macro photography from Igor Iwanowicz.

Seeing these creatures up close brings to mind the many reported encounters with “Mantis” like beings over the years. I’d take a reptilian over these guys every time.
