The number of insects on earth is countless, they appear in every corner, and we never seem to care about these small insects, only after their buzzing sound disturbs us, we will be impatient with the palm of the hand to knock it away. Because of the small size of the insects, it is difficult to have a direct impact on our lives, so few people deliberately pay attention to them, and even fewer people know that the huge insect population is also rapidly becoming extinct.

The fate of any insect on the planet is inextricably linked to humans, and many times we don’t realize the valuable and beautiful side of these insects until they become extinct. Fortunately, there are several photographers who have discovered the beauty of insects and captured them with the cameras in their hands so that people can see them.
British photographer Levon Biss, In 2022, with a photographic exhibition called “Extinct and Endangered”, will be insects to the people in front. He used a microscope lens to photograph different types of insects, many of which are only a few millimeters long or a few centimeters long, but were enlarged by the photographer to a canvas up to 3 meters long, and were enlarged hundreds of times, allowing us to see every joint and tiny hairs, which brought people an unimaginable visual shock.
In Levin Biss’s photographs, we can see seeds of various plants, various bird eggs, and the insects we mentioned. Through the exploration and research of photography technology, the photographer has created a new photography method that can show every tiny detail of insects with unprecedented resolution. This photography method is called “a beautiful combination of art and science.”
Levon Biss uses a microscope lens to photograph these insects in the hope that people will notice them, realize their beauty, and find ways to reduce the impact on these insects, as even locusts, which are known for their numbers, are in danger of disappearing completely.
When insects that are only a few millimeters or centimeters in size are magnified hundreds of times, we have the opportunity to understand and see them, and these insects seem to become a work of art, breathtakingly beautiful.
