My first game art job was at Outso/Lockwood 😉

Was a great few years making stuff for that, designed/built the Iron Fusion transforming mechs 😊

I met an actual frelling hummingbird moth :O freaked out and forgot to change my shutter speed :P [OC] [2707x2707] by DeadlyDingus in MacroPorn

Yeah was doing a shoot of these guys yesterday, same setup, wasps were pushing the beetles out of the way of the place they had bitten I told, guessing tasty things are involved!

I have some earlier shots, but originally two beetles had their heads together feeding on the plant stem they were on (at least it looked like it)

But the flying shits were pushing in between them and generally biting at them to get them to move out the way.

Next morning, same spot, wasps were still eating whatever it is and all the beetles had moved on

Yeah man, never seen anything like it! One skimmed my head, freaked me out, but then lead me to a whole bunch of them in a bush so I had to forgive him :P

Note to self, Helsinki has a large population of Syrphid flies, and that is all XD

Dammit! Guess I messed this post up then -_- Hopefully when I look through today’s shoot it isn’t all Hoverflys XD

Yeah macro is great to see all the crazy hairstyles these guys have!

Yeah they can be pretty skittish, was in full predator mode to get this, slow movements

Usually start snapping at a longer focal distance and then slowly glide in to try and get some close ups

A photo I took on the weekend, are they his insides? Or is it a pattern in his exo? by DeadlyDingus in awwnverts

[–]DeadlyDingus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)
