Scary beauty
Did I ever mention that I have an insect phobia? Well, maybe phobia is a bit of an exaggeration, but they definitely do make me uncomfortable. Even butterflies - no, strike that, especially butterflies! - give me the creeps with their fluttering and scuttling and everything. *shudder*
Luckily, that doesn’t keep me from admiring the critters in photos. Especially if these photos turn out to be as beautiful as these ones by Martin Amm. Click through to his portfolio on photo.net to see the big versions of the ones I posted here, and also all the others. The man has an incredible talent for finding the hidden beauty of those creatures.
You definitely have to be an artist to make an ordinary fly look like a precious jewel. Nobody would ever get me close enough to some of these critters to take pictures like this one. And yes, spiders are among the most uncomfortableness-inducing animals I know. Topped only by a shark circling around me in open water…
arghhhhh! I HATE spiders! The first two shots were beautiful tho, esp. the dragonfly

What a nice article.
I really can not stand any kind of bugs either.
But especially bees and spiders.. argh.
Speaking of spiders, I just saw one outside my room not more than 2 min ago and i am alone in my house, I just hope for the best.. I am defently not going to touch it, but on the other hand before i know it, it might just dissapear and it can be anywhere
haha, oh well but you are not the only one.
I enjoy the first 2 pictures though, i have never seen anything like that before. Quite amazing.
