Extinct & Endangered: Insects in Peril

by Levon Biss Author

This features stunning macro photographs of 40 endangered or extinct insect species, captured by photographer Levon Biss from the collections of the American Museum of Natural History. The insects, many of which are at risk due to the ongoing sixth mass extinction, include well-known species like the monarch butterfly and rarer ones like the Lord Howe Island stick insect. Biss’s photographs magnify the insects up to 300 times their actual size, revealing intricate details of their forms and colors that are invisible to the naked eye.
