Photographer Levon Biss started photographing insects as a side project. He is now collaborating with the Oxford University Museum of Natural History on a large-scale exhibition.

Using a technical and complicated method, it takes Levon between two and three weeks to finish photographing a particular insect.

The results are mesmerising. Thanks to developments in photography, this is as close as we’ll likely ever get to seeing exactly what these wondrous creatures really look like.
