For those of you that have kids.

Very nice. 19 posts and no replies..??

As much as I hate bugs, those are some pretty kick ass pictures of them. Wouldn't it be scary if they're actually that big???

grossed out, maybe???

these are amazing images...that fruit fly is awesome.

I especially like the spider hair, The others are pretty damn cool too. I've Always loved microscopes :)

How did they do the colors? bugs are that colorful at close look are they?

Thanks for the link.. I just spent the last fifteen minutes surfing through the whole thing. Great stuff

I like how they colored it.

Those are artificial colors!
