This is so unique. I saw it in the Rarities Contest, and would say that this image is the epitome of a RARE image. Great capture. Voted there and here! Happy Holidays to you Adam! LF

So there is definitely an interesting story behind this composition, which is amazing!
Adam Long replied:
Yeah....This was the first time I worked with beetles and I tried to push the limits of what I could do. I even turned some of them sideways in the eyes so the legs could be eyelashes. The beetles are reflective and as I moved while sculpting my motion was reflected and it looked like the beetles moved....caught myself getting startled. :)
