May Monster Madness

MMM

 I went for Steampunk.

The late Victorians were big on
the insect theme

and it's only a small step to
steampunk and animate these little beauties
into creations of exotically beautiful horror.

Here is a selection.

Creatures crafted from
discarded parts.

My friend, Miss Magpie's Steampunk Observer.

Lego Steampunk Scuttler.

Watch-part Insects from

A Mechanical Mind

Creation of a clockwork insect.

One of my favourite films

The City of Lost Children

has a spectacularly unpleasant 

altered  flea.

See it here, with its trainer's forceps

adding a hypodermic needle.

The flea's view as it travels to its target.

And here, its mind-altering toxin takes effect.

Here is my own Surveillance Arthropod.

(Right now, it's under your couch,

taking notes in Morse code.)

And a how-to, if you want to make your own.

Thank you so much,
for sharing in
May Monster Madness!
