German artist Alfred Keller (1902-1955), who worked for Berlin's natural history museum, is well known for his insect sculptures. The picture above shows one of his creations, a model of the Brazilian treehopper Bocydium globulare.
The first thing you probably do on seeing a model like this is think, 'This can't be real!' and 'What are all these things on the torax?' What if I told you this is a real insect. One of the weirdest insects I have ever seen.
