Don't stare at me, I haven't been caffeinated yet.
Yesterday I had a total geek out moment while watching the Discovery Channel. I just love getting completely enthralled and amazed by some of the footage these Discovery people can put together, not to mention the mind blowing advances in photographic technology that allow these images to be captured. But the really cool thing is that even amateur photographers can produce some pretty ‘wow’ images. Click the bug above to see the rest of the gallery, taken by a guy who sneaks into the woods while the bugs are “sleeping” to photograph them as so.

Wow, those insects look like they’re made of crystal. Beautiful. (never thought I’d say that about insects!)
If you want to geek out some more, check out the images over at the Olympus Bioscapes International Imaging Competition:
