Insect Lab



Like a character from a William Gibson novel, Mike Libby of Insect Lab builds "customized insects":

Insect Lab is an artist operated studio that customizes real insects with antique watch parts and electronic components. Offering a variety of specimens that come in many shapes, sizes and colors; each specimen is individaully designed and hand- assembled, each is one of a kind and unique.


I like the combination of gooey wetware with pristine/precise clockwork. Plus the Frivolous Victorian Luxury aesthetic is always a good bet, especially when given a cyberpunk twist like this.
