I have always been fascinated by insects, ever since I was a child who excitedly (but gently) turned over rocks in my yard searching for tiny life hidden underneath. I’ve never thought bugs were scary or gross; when you get close up, some of them are quite beautiful, in fact. I love the patience and exactness of focus it takes to get a good macro shot of an insect and I love getting a glimpse into their worlds. (And yes, I’m that person who saves and releases bugs who get trapped indoors rather than smooshing them.)
