Morphologically Disturbed Insects from Nuclear-Affected Areas

Morphologically Disturbed Insects from Nuclear-Affected Areas

By Claudia Cukrov on November 6, 2009

These are a few of the many pieces from scientific illustrator Cornelia Hesse-Honegger. Traveling to post and near-nuclear sites like Chernobyl, the Swiss science artist documents the bizarre ‘morphologically disturbed’ insects that have survived the fallout. A fascinating look at the lingering effects of the nuclear world.
