Buggy, but in a good way

In my youth I was a massive Entomology enthusiast, and kept all kinds of exotic insects, so the incredible life-like detail in these 'specimens' by pupipupi (Peter Fendrik) brought a lot of memories flooding back. I only wish he would make more of them!

I don't know why people find bugs so icky - they're really fascinating, especially when observed up close. And I'm proud to say this philospohy has rubbed off on my kids, who will handle spiders, roaches and pill bugs without any hestitation!

"Awe, wook at the qwute wittle spider!"

...hmmm, probably not behavior I should be encouraging on our next trip to Australia, though!
