Small Beings This is a project that brings together macro photography and storytelling to reveal the beauty of what often goes unnoticed. Tiny creatures live all around us. Yet we rarely see them as neighbours worth protecting.
Over 80% of all animal species are arthropods – insects, spiders, crustaceans and millipedes. We show them the way we see them: a new photo every day, stories told from their perspective and a growing catalogue of every species we have observed.
Arthropods? What's that?
- 316 species
- 98 families
- 1,563 photos
- 1,130 diary entries
