The Insect Lab doesn’t make its creatures entirely from scratch. Instead, they take various specimens and…enhance them with artistically applied gears, cogs and wiring to create the illusion of the bug being part watch, part insect. I’m sure some people might be creeped out by these creations, and even I am not too comfortable with the arachnids, but take a look at the Lab’s unique collection of altered critters and see if any catch your eye.
Here are my two favorites:
The dragonfly reminds me of our talk a bit back about the possibility of government-manufacture spy devices that mimic insects, buzzing over our heads. Well, if they do get around to making those, hopefully they’ll at least look as cool as this.
I see that smile.
Those are gorgeous!
But expensive, unfortunately. I’m sticking these on my expansive list of “Things to buy once I become richer than God.”
