this grid work has long fascinated me.
at one time i thought i would trace an enlarged replica to fill a wall -- i may do that still.
while i pulled this apart for scanning (note here: no locusts were killed in the making of this image; i found it already dead as i do all my bug specimens) i felt how fragile, ephemeral these apparatus actually are; yet they lift a clumsy (rather) body and propel it through gusts & currents to some destination. also surprised to find the smaller version tucked neatly under the larger. i had assumed there was just the larger. well, happy viewing.
