I truly hate bugs.. I can deal with snakes and rats better than bugs. Having said that, you have managed to make these look amazing. Terrifying but amazing.

Love the David Bowie spider. Out of curiosity when you go out at night do you use a torch/headlamp?

Also do you filter the color? Like red?

Thanks! You should be more afraid of human.

Thanks. Yes, to find our ways and to look for bugs. Red and orange colors are always tricky and might require careful attention during post processing.
