Violent Death in the Insect World: Stunning Photography

By Queuebot in Animals & Pets, Pictures on Feb 8, 2009 at 6:10 pm

Some amazing photography enables us to get up close as various insects meet their demise. Includes various acts of dismemberment (including one in mid air) which are not for the faint hearted!

Death in the domain of the insects can be swift and cruel but retains a magnificence and beauty that is somehow at odds with the brutality of what is happening. Take a look at this collection of awesome photographs and see whether or not you agree – but beware! This is not for the squeamish!

Those bugs should be stopped!

Why doesn’t PETA do something about this madness?

Ahh, death and dismemberment are always surrounding us. It’s just another of those things we don’t think about often and take for granted. Perhaps that’s why we’re drawn to crime dramas to offset the amount of death we’re missing out on from the insect world.
