Creepy Crawlies and Such

I hate bugs.

I hate when they crawl on my arm, buzz in my ear, crunch under my feet, attack me in swarms and, on that one rare moment, land in my ice tea!

However... they make the most interesting models in a photographer's studio... if you can keep them still. I decided to fight my fear of these little monsters by taking them out of their environment and putting them into mine, using them for their brilliant colors and attributes.

I never knew how beautiful they really were until I got them in front of the lens.

Thanks to the little creepy crawly, thousand-leggy little guys for your patience and help....

However..... I'm STILL not going to share my ice tea.
