Happy to be so much bigger than him [ Peruphasma schultei]

Male during mating season

 

When I was a kid I had a microscope/binocular in the basement of my house and I would look at insects. I was always caught between fascination, awe and pure fear. Especially when they started moving unexpectedly under the binocular. I’m trying to recreate this feeling in these photos but I’m still struggling with macro techniques.
