This gallery of beasties is the jaw-dropping work of award-winning macro photographer Mofeed Abu Shalwa.
Amazingly, scientific researcher Mofeed used to be scared stff of creepy crawlies as a child.
The 35-year-old, from Saudi Arabia, Explains: “what drove me to this field is back to a story about my childhood, when I used to suffer from insects phobia, this fear grew stronger as my classmates in school used to bring insects with them, and they used to throw them on me as a joke".
"So, choosing the world of small worlds photography was to be able to break the childhood fear that grew in me since childhood from insects".
