That face! 😍🤘I have always wanted to photograph one of these incredible longhorn beetles.The demonic head shape, the soft fur-like texture, and the bright yellow trim framing those compound eyes... it looks like something designed for a fantasy movie, no fictional monster comes close.📍Napo Wildlife Center, Ecuador📷 OM SYSTEM OM-1 • M.Zuiko 90mm Macro • CygnusTech diffuser#cupoty #arthropod_perfection #nuts_about_macro #macro_perfection #CygnusTech by @derek.moorse

One highlight of Ecuador was the night walks by rivers looking for frogs, like these 2 beautiful glass frogs who were trying to make more glass frogs 🐸 😀! Huge thanks to @thetibormolnar and @jaime_culebras for making that night such a memorable time! #frog #Ecuador #naturephotography #cygnustech by @derek.moorse

A simple soldier beetle climbing Karl foerster grass seed head became something that looks dreamy. Sometimes the most ordinary subjects create the most magical images.#insectguru #arthropod_perfection #nuts_about_macro #Cupoty #macro_perfection📍Ontario, Canada📷 Canon R5 Mark II • RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro by @derek.moorse

Found this little cicada in a dangerous spot with what appeared to be a damaged wing. It was surprisingly calm, allowing me to spend a few quiet moments admiring the incredible details before I moved it to the safety of a nearby tree. Whether it had just completed its transformation or had been injured, it was one of the most beautiful insects I've ever had the chance to photograph.📸 Canon R5 Mark II | RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro | ⚡ CygnusTech Diffuser #Cupoty #CygnusTech #arthropod_perfection #nuts_about_macro by @derek.moorse
