Photographer Colin Hutton, 29, has created stunning portraits of the world's most overlooked animals, pictured, including spiders, wasps, bees, common flies, and beetles. The images are made using a powerful macro lens and can be incredibly hard to achieve because of the quick movements of the creatures. He also photographed weevils, pictured. Many weevils are damaging to crops.
