Where the stink bugs live, the woodlive eat and 

where the dung beetles go to sleep ...

Insects are further away from humans and they are less often humanized. They ain't pets, we don't go for a walk with them, we don't cuddle them - at least not knowingly. 

There are, it tends to be, less to zero funny YouTube videos with millions of clicks. Nevertheless, there are also the more popular, the "sweet" and loving insects, the useful ones. And those that are used as emoticons for example: butterflies, bees & co. 

On the other hand, there are those to whom we pay less attention to. We might even find them gross, label them as vermin or just plain boring. But why, actually? 

Of course insects are also exposed to prejudices, empty phrases and myths. So: We'd better take a close look at at that. 

As collages combining digital (photography, image processing) and analogue techniques (drawing, painting), with the attempt to represent the inherent beauty of every living being.
