Insect rarities, including aberrations, gynandromorphs, etc.

This gallery will eventually contain numerous photos of rare (in many cases, unique) and unusual insect specimens from my personal collection, the majority of which have been taken with Olympus digital slrs. THESE IMAGES ARE CERTAINLY BY NO MEANS PERFECT AND WILL ALL BE GRADUALLY REPLACED.... my priority at the moment is to quickly post pics of all of my many freaks/rarities a.s.a.p. for (hopefully!) your interest/enjoyment.

GALLERY IN PROGRESS.......ENJOY!

PLEASE NOTE THAT PBASE APPEARS (RECENTLY) TO HAVE INCREASED IMAGE COMPRESSION - THE IMAGES THAT ARE POSTED HERE WERE ALL PREVIOUSLY FAR SHARPER THAN YOU SEE NOW!
