Bugs Make Art: Photos
Entomologist Steven Kutcher is a Hollywood “Bug Guy,” serving as a consultant in movies like “Jurassic Park,” “Arachnophobia” and “James and the Giant Peach.”
In the 1980s Director Steven Spielberg needed a shot where a fly walks through ink, leaving footprints.
Kutcher began experimenting for the scene, which led to his interest in prints created by insects.
This is just too cool! Pass me the cockroaches! I have a masterpiece to crawl.
If you find this sort of thing interesting, let me recommend my favorite field guide ever: Tracks & Sign of Insects and Other Invertebrates, by Charley Eiseman and Noah Charney.
I really love this book.
