Insects are the largest group of animals on earth by far: about 926,400 different species have been described to date.
Estimates of the total number of species range from 2 million to 30 million; estimates of the total number of actual insects in the world usually end up round the 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 mark. For every one of us, there are around 1.5 billion insects. Insects are predominantly small, with details hidden from view, and given their ubiquitous nature, it is no surprise that insects are the subjects of many extreme macro photographs.

Macro photographs of insects, Dublin, Ireland - Apr 2014

A Close-Up Look At A Ladybird's Life
A photographer has captured the hidden insect world that hides under ourvery noses.
Snapper Marc O'Sullivan was walking his dog Ricky in the meadow at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin when his pet pooch became stranded due to some nettles.
Venturing into the tall grass and vegetation to rescue him Marc was struck by the insect life that surrounded him.
He comments: "As I tiptoed through the nettles I noticed lots of ladybirds. I only had my pocket camera on me so the next evening myself and Ricky headed back. This time I had my trusty Canon 1DX with 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens.
"I wandered through the long grass waiting for the flash of red shell in the verdant foliage. These ladybirds had made their home on doc plants beside clumps of nettles.
"The first couple I discovered were busy together, as they say 'birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it' well Ladybirds certainly do, do it".
Seven spotted ladybirds or Coccinella Septempunctata to give them their correct title are the most common type of ladybird in Europe. Its red shell has two sets of 3 black spots and one black spot at the crease of the shell which opens up as wings.
These spots and the red colour warn off predators. They can also secrete a foul tasting liquid to protect themselves.
Marc says: "I found that the best way to observe them was to sit still in the grass and just let them do their thing. Blades of grass are their highways. They navigate the jungle of stalks and branches upside down or the right way up, it doesn't matter to them. One favourite trick is to walk up a blade of grass until their body weight makes the grass bow and like a pole vaulter they move onto the next sheaf.
"Another method of protection they utilize is playing dead. On a sunny day when my shadow crossed a lady...

A Close-Up Look At A Ladybird's Life
A photographer has captured the hidden insect world that hides under ourvery noses.
Snapper Marc O'Sullivan was walking his dog Ricky in the meadow at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin when his pet pooch became stranded due to some nettles.
Venturing into the tall grass and vegetation to rescue him Marc was struck by the insect life that surrounded him.
He comments: "As I tiptoed through the nettles I noticed lots of ladybirds. I only had my pocket camera on me so the next evening myself and Ricky headed back. This time I had my trusty Canon 1DX with 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens.
"I wandered through the long grass waiting for the flash of red shell in the verdant foliage. These ladybirds had made their home on doc plants beside clumps of nettles.
"The first couple I discovered were busy together, as they say 'birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it' well Ladybirds certainly do, do it".
Seven spotted ladybirds or Coccinella Septempunctata to give them their correct title are the most common type of ladybird in Europe. Its red shell has two sets of 3 black spots and one black spot at the crease of the shell which opens up as wings.
These spots and the red colour warn off predators. They can also secrete a foul tasting liquid to protect themselves.

Insect Lab by Mike Libby, America - Jan 2011

Ladybird
Clockwork Creepy Crawlies
Anyone swatting these bugs may be in for a surprise - the creepy crawlies are filled with clockwork innards.
US-based artist Mike Libby customises real insects and creatures with antique watch parts and electronic components to create new hybrid species.
His 2011 range of beasties includes beetles, butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers and even a fearsome-looking cyborg crab.
Mike's inspiration for what he calls the Insect Lab came when he found a deceased bug in his garden.
"One day I found a dead intact beetle," he explains. "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 convincing little cybernetic sculpture. I soon made many more with other found insects and have been exploring and developing the theme ever since."
Mike, 34, has created specimens in many shapes, sizes and colours, with each insect adorned differently to make it truly unique. He even creates insects to order from his Portland studio and was recently requested to make three clockwork scorpions by a New York stockbroker.
"I get the insects through scientific dealers who provide high quality specimens from all around the world; from Africa, China, New Guinea, Brazil and more," he says. "Though I do salvage insects that I find right at hand, the occasional bumblebee or dragonfly. Also, people are welcome to send me specimens of their own for a piece."
As for the mechanical ingredients he uses parts "mostly from antique pocketwatches and wristwatches" and tries to use almost every component "from the swipe hands and screws to the gears and springs".
Each piece takes between 10 an...

The brightly coloured macro insect pictures of Leon Baas, Geldermalsen, Netherlands - 25 Sep 2010
HOLLAND OUT
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Leon Baas/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1230905i )
Beautiful Bugs
A ladybird looks like it is flashing a cheeky cartoon-like grin as it takes off from the top of a mushroom.
Photographer Leon Baas, 35, used a special close-up lens to capture the bug in spectacular detail.
He then lit the scene with an orange flash to give the picture an added sense of drama and atmosphere.
Leon, who also works as a mechanic, has developed his own style of brightly coloured macro-photography over eight years.
He has snapped ants, snails, water beetles, crickets and damselfly - all lit in his own artistic way.
In order to get the best shots he carefully researches the creatures he hopes to photograph so he can try to predict their behaviour.
By magnifying the creatures, Leon is able to show their eyes, antennae, legs and wings in ways that have rarely been seen before.
He said: "The way spiders and insects look fascinates me.
"I worked as a wedding photographer but my eyes were always more attracted to the bugs on the beautiful flowers than they were to the bride.
"My interest in nature and macro photography grew quickly from there."
Leon, from Geldermalsen, Netherlands, added: "It is very hard to take the shot at the right moment. You must be very alert.
"I always try to ensure the colour and creatures' poses are perfect.
"They sometimes look a bit like an alien and can appear threatening.
"The shot of the flying ladybird is a once in a lifetime photograph. I am very happy with it and do not think it will ever happen again - it feels great."

Smart Pods: Healthcare on the Move investigates future healthcare vehicles, London - 06 Apr 2009

Ladybird designed by David Seesing
Future Ambulances
FUTURE AMBULANCES
Ambulances of the future could turn into mini hospitals or change shape depending on the type of emergency.
These are some of the radical ideas proposed by designers given the brief of creating concepts for 'Smart Pods' - innovative vehicles that facilitate delivery of mobile healthcare.
A range of ideas for potential Smart Pod designs have been envisaged by current Royal College of Art (RCA) Masters Vehicle Design students.
Concepts include 360? access to the patient, incorporation of more modularised/portable equipment and treatment packages, plus greater portability, flexibility and adaptability of the treatment space itself.
These 'blue-sky' designs demonstrate key benefits that next-generation technology of this type could provide compared to today's 'converted van' standard.
The cutting-edge designs come as part of two-year project involving designers from the RCA as well as academics from Loughborough University and the Universities of the West of England, Bath and Plymouth.
Healthcare professionals called Emergency Care Practitioners (ECPs) have received special training to assess and treat patients on-the-spot. However research into new technologies needed to support this new role is still lagging behind government policy.
Not only would on-the-spot care mean quicker treatment for patients, with a resultant increase of positive outcomes; it would also relieve the strain on emergency departments and hospital resources generally.
Professor Dale Harrow, Head of the Department of Vehicle Design and Principle Investigator on the project says: "Our research shows that delivering urgent healthcare more efficiently and effectively poses a range of challenges. But it also presents many opportunities - especially in terms of improving the p...

Insects are the largest group of animals on earth by far: about 926,400 different species have been described to date.
Estimates of the total number of species range from 2 million to 30 million; estimates of the total number of actual insects in the world usually end up round the 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 mark. For every one of us, there are around 1.5 billion insects. Insects are predominantly small, with details hidden from view, and given their ubiquitous nature, it is no surprise that insects are the subjects of many extreme macro photographs.
