Insects and Arachnids

Vittorio Costantini’s glass insects, spiders and scorpions are incredibly realistic, and his attention to detail is evident in every tiny creation. The characteristics of the insects are faithfully reproduced with astonishing detail, from the delicate antennae to the tiny spines on their legs. Costantini’s bees even have pollen baskets on their hind legs, many of which are laden with yellow glass from an imaginary journey to collect pollen.
