Mike Libby: Insect Lab


Though it comes off as a bit strange at first, there is something undeniably mesmerizing about the whimsical creations of Mike Libby as he takes insect specimens and adorns them with bits and pieces of antique watches to the point where they look like they're coming straight from the pages of a science-fiction novel.

His collection is featured in a book he calls "Insect Lab". Needless to say, seeing the juxtaposition of nature and technology is absolutely stunning. And although I never really understood the purpose of collecting/framing insect specimens, I also never really truly appreciated their beauty until now.

You can browse through his full collection, here.
