Oh wow, those are beautiful! And yes, it does give me some ideas. One of my friends is really, really into insects so this certainly gives me some ideas for a birthday present for her!

Those are just astonishing. They’re so good that several of them give me the heebie jeebies.
(I’m a brave little toaster, but not when it comes to insects that can both jump and fly, i.e. mantids, grasshoppers, and crickets. YUCK.)

When I see such detailed art made by Japanese artists, I keep thinking about the intensity of observation and the dedication to minutiae that just are missing in my life. I took a walk in a field last week and I knew so little about what the many weeds and plants and flowers were, much less all the insects. How few butterflies can I name. This is so inspring.
