Some things are just too small, too fast, or too subtle to be caught by the naked eye. Lucky for you, we have an entire collection of images from the unseen world of insects captured by photographers, and available for license exclusively on 500px Prime. This is not for the squeamish! Hairy arachnids, stinging bees, and the compound eyes of flies are all revealed. But if you ask us, they’re all quite alluring.
