if you're up for a Midwest road trip, or live near the Fox Valley in Wisconsin, I recommend you visit the Microsculpture: The Insect Portraits of Levon Biss at the Paine Arts Center & Gardens in Oshkosh!

It's best to see it in person to appreciate the detail, but I did try to take some close up shots for a hint of the vibe.

If you can't make it over, fear not: Levon Biss is both online and has published books!

Microsculpture | LEVON BISS

Microsculpture presents the insect collection of Oxford University Museum of Natural History like never before.

Insect in 45 million-year-old amber photographed by Levon Biss.

His amazingly crisp macro photos are created by stitching together the best parts of 8,000-10,000 individual images. The size of a single image file is 4gb and the prints are 3 meters long!

I highly recommend exploring the interactive site Microsculpture, where you can zoom in to experience the full 4gb resolution of many gorgeous insect photos:
