IT looks like a Doctor Who baddie - but this is actually a monster close-up of a bug.
Amateur photographer Nicolas Reusens has taken hundreds of macro images of insects across the world over the past three years.
And the results are enough to give anyone the creeps.
In one image a wasp appears to be staring down the cameras lens menacingly, his black and yellow markings standing out between his horn-like antenna.
Another shows an Amazon Moth's piercing and scaled green eye protruding from his feathered fur.
While one shows the oily complexion of a Tiger Beetle feasting on a leaf in Nicolas' studio.
The 36-year-old Spaniard had to stay awake 24 hours to snare one species of wild bug he desperately wanted to add to his collection.
Each shot takes him between 20 and a staggering 200 frames to compose through a complex process named stacking.
Nicolas has visited a host of countries in his quest to picture as many known species of insect as possible - taking in Peru, Costa Rica, Malaysia, the Amazon and South Africa.
He said: "For some of the images I had to hide for hours on end to wait for the insect to come along. Some I spent all night searching for them.
"With the studio ones it is very difficult to keep an insect still. You have to have a lot of patience.
"People's reactions on seeing them are always good.
"People use terms like amazing, breathtaking and beautiful, but you can always improve."
Nicolas only started collecting the snaps three years ago: He went on:"I only started three years ago. I've always had a sharp eye for nature and been fascinated by insects.
"I collected ants, moths and other insects in matchboxes, so my hobby is just a progression from that.
"I guess you cold call me a perfectionist or maybe even a freak - I'm that obsessed by them."
