Zoology
An ultra-high-definition picture book created by combining more than 10,000 cuts of 40 species of dying insects with a magnification of 300 times.

Insects are not only the most familiar creatures to us, but also the most mysterious creatures.
Insects seem to have nothing to do with extinction because of their species and abundance. However, the life of insects on Earth is being cut off with the sixth mass extinction.
This book is a joint project by photographer Levon Bis, which selected 40 species of insects under extinction or in danger of extinction from 20 million arthropod specimens held by the American Museum of Natural History. Each specimen was enlarged to 300 times its actual size, and the details such as color, texture, hair, and scale that cannot be seen with the naked eye are reproduced clearly.
The commentary attached to all insects in this book was translated and edited by popular entomologist Munetoshi Maruyama, who is proud of Japan. Along with overwhelmingly beautiful and powerful pictures of insects, problems and efforts such as ecological changes, environmental changes, current conservation activities, Red List, etc. are summarized in an easy-to-understand way.
"It is not just a sample photograph.
It is full of spirited pictures that speak for the sorrow of insects."
-- Munetoshi Maruyama
