Features: When we delve into the world of insects, we discover that they are not only the most successful inhabitants on Earth but also possess lives filled with drama and wonder. This collection of one hundred outstanding online photographs provides one hundred poetic perspectives for understanding them. We believe these works can change your perception of insects, sparking a strong interest and deep respect for them. Li Yuansheng is a poet and an insect enthusiast. He insists on not acknowledging himself as an insect photographer because his photographic works stem from personal hobby rather than an interest in insect species or anatomy, but rather in the beauty presented in their activities. Beauty moved Li Yuansheng. In the book, he writes: "Good insect photographs are more important than more striking poses or more enchanting expressions, because they reveal the beauty and poetry of insect survival." He uses extensive beautiful words to describe his shooting process and mindset, distinguishing the insect world as seen by a poet from an ordinary science popularization book. From a certain perspective, this is more like a collection of lyrical prose.
