This one seems to have upset a few web portfolio providers and often gets me banned. Stupid really! The image is a take on the strange and ruthless traits of nature, which seems to conjure up every conceivable variation of abuse between different forms of life. There is a parasitic wasp, for example, which lays eggs into a paralysed host. The eggs hatch and the emerging larvae feed off of the living host, slowly killing it in the process. In my image here, earth women are regularly taken and inseminated on a specific day of the year (a bit like queen ant day), the emerging %u2018babies%u2019 consume their %u2018mothers%u2019 during birth. In this manner the half-human/half insect species population is maintained. This image was quite difficult to create and took me over 12 hours to make using Poser and Photoshop on photos I had taken of the women.
