When you think of insects, you might picture tiny bugs scurrying by, barely worth a second glance. But through the lens of photographer Dara Ojo, these small creatures become something extraordinary. His close-up shots reveal incredible details, vibrant colors, and patterns that are easy to miss with the naked eye.
Dara, a self-taught macro photographer from Nigeria now based in Canada, focuses on insects and arthropods to show just how fascinating and important they are. Get ready to see bugs like you’ve never seen them before!

These are the WORST if you ever get them. Salt (first, let sit overnight with plug) then boiling water down the drain and then plug overnight. Upon opening, have pots of hot water to pour down. Plug again. Rinse and repeat. If you have a disposal, make sure you use a cleaner regularly.
So beautiful and amazing! And right under our noses. Thank you for bringing these creatures to us. More like this please.
Wow - just wow! Thank you so much. Only, I think some of these might give me nightmares... 😉
I would have appreciated a species identification, other than a generic 'moth' or 'weevil', but these are stunning
