1.B.2.- Research: Extreme Close-Ups of Insects

While doing my research, I found many pictures, which are helpful for my project, however the ones which stroke me the most were the extreme close-ups of insects. Everybody knows that insects by themselves, have a not so appealing appearance to some humans, but when put into extreme close-ups, this antipathy takes a step further. These pictures demonstrate many resemblance between the insect and what we find Alien, meaning that many pioneering Sci-fi films used insect imagery to create the Alien appearance we are so familiar with.
They also detail some characteristics of different insects producing rather abstract photos and yet so scary.
