Artwork of the Stuff of Nightmares: Futuristic Mechanical Bugs

How many of you are scared of the creepy crawlies, the lifeforms that have too many legs for their own good? We’re sure that some of you may have an entomologist gene in you, or will deny being irked by bugs, but what if they suddenly turned mechanical?

Actually, they will look really, really cool!

Here are just 25 of some amazingly sophisticated designs of bugs. Nothing can beat millions of years of nature’s work of course but darn it, some of these designs look like they came out of a science fiction movie, or should be part of one!

Although beautiful, these bugs could actually become fodder for nightmares, one that involes them taking over our world. Until then, let’s gawk at their amazing and intricate structure, and convince ourselves that we still have a sizable upper hand over them. (If they fly, we’re out of here!)
