Previously on the blog we listed some of HK’s most dreaded creepy crawlies, but the territory also has its share of more lovable insects…
Barry Jacques‘s colourful ‘Hong Kong Bug Safari’ is a reminder that we are never far from nature in the City of Lights.
Speaking to Hong Wrong, Jacques said “I was fascinated by the insects I saw around me… and wanted to to make a body of photographic work to show off these wonderful creatures”.
Jacques is an Irish artist who works and lives in the city. Follow his work on Flickr or Instagram.

What a beautiful array of photographs! So colourful and varied, I love it! Especially the Long-Horned Beetle, looks like he’s posing. 🙂
