Beetle
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 and ...

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 a...
