Some insects I do not fear at all. Others make me startle with a primal aversion. This particular insect both repulses and fascinates. Undeniably ingenious and menacingly elegant, I cannot help but fear that it will be put to some devious purpose.

It's a beautiful and surreal construction, lovely and shiny yet evocative of our primal fears. I seriously want one

I assume this thing moves because it has gears. OMG, how creepy it must look when it walks!!! It is fascinating, though! (via Espy)
