The ideas behind this insect:
All her attention is focused on eating, catching prey and reproducing.
The large feelers at the front detect the least vibration from prey, the powerful jaws can crush even the toughest insect carapace.
The swollen hindquarters with the long sensory cerci and the sparkling diamond attract males, who are fated to die after mating.
This Queen reigns supreme in her hunting grounds.
This piece is an element in a composite artistic work, and is part of the HABITAT project.
