Insects and macro work in general is a popular subject for photographers, painters and even sculptors like myself. As a creature designer I get asked to create all kinds of insects and insect-inspired creatures. To produce really convincing concepts you neednumber of advantages. Firstly, they all have the same basic body plan (roughly), so you only have to learn that once. Secondly, the reference material is all around you and you can get stunning reference images using just an iPhone these days.
