The Most Beautiful Insect Photos You Have Ever Seen

I'm totally serious, these images are fantastic. They represent a very distinctive style of brightly colored macro photography that Leon Baas has spent over eight years perfecting. I love them.

"The shot of the flying ladybird was a once in a lifetime photograph. I am very happy with it and do not think it will ever happen again," says Leon.

Leon says he researches the creatures he hopes to photograph before leaving home so he can try to predict their behaviour and anticipate the best shots. A tiny ant looks towards Leon's lens.
