I for one welcome our new insect overlords

Saw this on Digg and thought I'd share.

It's pictures of insects through an electron microscope and some of the shots are amazing.

I've given myself nightmares now though!

Nice....

 

[Cosimo]

Those are amazing pictures.

 

[footman]

Brilliant images. I must check the shed to see if I've still got that scanning electron microscope.

 

[Skillmister]

I assume colour is added later? Cant remember anything i learnt about SEM's in physics

[gjrc]

amazing images....

 

[Andr3w]

That first one has such a stupid face

 

[The Dread Pirate]

Krazy!

 

[Nick1881]

Truly amazing, some of them are really ugly close up.

 

[SiriusB]

That first one has such a stupid face

I think of the name Cleetus when I see that

And awwww look at the fluffy bee near the end. :d

 

[Greenlizard0]

Great images if a little boosted up.

#4, love the phrase 'living fossil', not just for the fact it's an oxymoron.

Edit - The turtle ant looks like something from science fiction

 

[Narziss]

Fantastic stuff!

Yeah, electron microscopes have no concept of colour.

 

[Guerrilla]

Is No. 7 grinning?

And awwww look at the fluffy bee near the end. :d

I thought the same thing!


Great pictures.

The bee was actually surprisingly cute, even so close up.

The maggot looked hilarious, I have to say.

 

[J.B]

I dont know how anyone could find that bee cute, gives me shivers!

I think it's something about the eyes that freaks me out.

 

[SiriusB]

But he's so cute! BZZZZZ.

 

[B@Th*nG]

Stunning images. The one of the cat flea looks almost fake as if from a game
