If you enjoy seeing how bugs mutate after radiation exposure — and hey, who doesn’t? — check out the beautiful insect images of Cornelia Hesse-Honegger, a scientific illustrator from Switzerland.
She roots around nuclear reactors (including the fallout areas of Chernobyl) to study the “morphologically disturbed” insects and paint their portraits — like this one, at right, with the hinky wing, missing antenna, and the ability to see right through your undergarments with its glow-in-the-dark X-ray feelers.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
