A little while back, Nicolle Rager Fuller created a wasp composed entirely of microbes for Science News magazine’s special feature entitled Microscopic Menagerie.
In a fantastic blog post, Nicolle takes you through her steps and process for creating this illustration – from getting started, to sculpting, to putting it all together.
For any artists, scientists, and lovers of nature out there, we highly recommend you read the post here.
