Got some balls ... water clings to tiny fly
GREAT balls of flyer! Sparkling droplets of water cling to a tiny fly — but it doesn’t seem to bug him.
Amateur photographer Nicolas Reusens captured these amazing close-ups after scouring the globe for eye-catching insects.
He creeps up on the crawlies and snaps them using hi-tech lenses and never ending patience.
One picture took 24 hours.
Each image — magnified up to 20 times — is made up of 20 to 200 shots, that Nicolas later merges.
His vast insect album includes a Spanish jumping spider, carpenter ant and South African tick.
Hairy and scary ... a Spanish jumping spider
Gripping ... carpenter ant seizes bug
The 36-year-old Spaniard said: “I’ve always been fascinated by insects. As a kid I collected them in matchboxes. But now I capture them in my lens. It’s very satisfying.”
