He is the artist who paints without putting brush to canvas.
Instead, Steven Kutcher uses moths, beetles, spiders, flies, honey bees, butterflies, grasshoppers - and even Hissing Cockroaches from Madagascar.
He dips the insects in paint, places them on a blank canvas and lets their movement create a string of colourful paintings.
Mr Kutcher, 63, uses insects as living paintbrushes, guiding them by using their reaction to light or simply letting them wriggle at will.
He said: "I'll take a bug in my hand and, leg by leg, load the paint on to each leg. Then I put them on to the canvas and off they go, leaving a tiny trail of coloured footprints in their wake.
"I can switch colours and even insects to create the effect I am looking for.
"If a bug is sensitive to light, I can influence its movement on the canvas by controlling the lighting.
"Insects have different footprints and behaviours so I use both my entomological and artistic knowledge to create fine works of art."
