Mechanical insects

American Mike Libby over the past few years has been engaged in a very unusual occupation. It complements insect bodies with mechanical parts, which makes insects look like completely mechanical creatures. Parts from old mechanical watches are mainly used for work.

The result is impressive!



Eupatorus Gracilicornis, $ 1500

Most mechanisms are made for sale. The price ranges from half a thousand to several thousand dollars.

UPD : Hosting studio could not resist, poured pictures to him. I apologize for the inaccessibility for some time.



Tarantula, $ 1250



Odonata, $ 475



Morpho Anaxibia, $ 850



Batocera Numitor, $ 1700

Unfortunately, insects are static. And how do you want them to buzz mechanisms and move :)
