Upon first glance these seem like normal insects. But when you pay closer attention, you will notice something which seems like it came straight out of a science fiction film.
Mike Libby creates these from insects & antique watch parts
How did insect lab begin? One day I found a dead intact beetle. I then located an old wristwatch, thinking of how the beetle also operated and looked like a little mechanical device and so decided to combine the two. After some time dissecting the beetle and outfitting it with watch parts and gears, I had a nice little sculpture.
Where do you get your insects? I get safe non-endangered high quality specimens from all around the world; from Africa, China, New Guinea, Brazil, Texas etc. Though I do salvage insects that I find right at hand, the occasional bumblebee or dragonfly.
