I love these. They're great. My gran studied drosophila and had hundreds of pictures of them all over her house. Wasps are the sexiest insects to draw, I reckon.

I used to live next door to this old lady that painted illustrations of flowers for a living. She did some of mushrooms for my folks. I think there's a whole world out there of people who paint these really detailed studies of nature. I don't reckon universities or textbooks buy them anymore, because photos are cheaper and there are all sorts of special lenses for that now.
