Have you ever wanted to see like a bug? This month our Patreon is getting 3D-printed “bug eye” lenses inspired by compound eyes. Each lens is mounted as a stainless steel necklace for exploring the world through an array of tiny lenses. patreon.com/nervoussystem

Of all my photos, this is easily my favourite I've ever taken. This amphipod is legitimately about 1mm in size. So small your eyes can't make out any details on it. They refuse to sit still. They run away from the light. It just looks like a grain of sand. Genuinely a 1 in a million shot.
