昆虫是我们非常熟悉的动物,也是很神秘的动物。许多昆虫本身就很美,而它们的历史远比人类要久远,很早就飞向天空的动物是昆虫(较翼龙要早 1 亿年),较早形成复杂社会结构的也是昆虫,开始改造植物的还是昆虫。昆虫的重要性远不止于授粉,它们在生态系统中扮演的其他角色同样可圈可点。正是因为它们与植物的协同进化才促使有花植物开遍天涯。一旦蜜蜂和其他传粉昆虫消失,地球上的生态系统会立刻分崩离析。同样严峻的是,在过去的几十年间,全世界昆虫的总体数量下降了70%至80%,物种数量则下降了约30%。 摄影师和美国自然历史博物馆合作的这个项目记录了馆内收藏的40个珍稀物种(濒危、灭绝)的不可磨灭的图像,图像中的标本由科学家团队从多达2000 万枚昆虫标本中精挑细选而来。它们包括人们熟悉的濒危物种君主斑蝶和九星瓢虫,以及遥远的澳岛?。人们曾认为澳岛?在20世纪的大部分时间里已灭绝, 直到2001年重新发现了澳岛?并进行了人工繁殖。 所有的藏品都被送到比斯的工作室,他在那里创作了令人惊艳的昆虫肖像,这些肖像被放大到真实昆虫大小的300倍,展现出生动的生命形式和色彩细节,这是我们肉眼看不见的世界。这本画册让人们看到了这些微小、不为人知的生物带来的视觉震撼、潜在的巨大艺术价值和科研意义。
