Surveillance drones don’t have to be ugly or camouflaged. Hiding in plain sight is often the best way to get secret information, and that’s why this gilded insect and its brethren look like gorgeous pins and necklaces.
OK, I admit it: These really are pieces of jewelry, created by twentieth century American artist John Paul Miller, who was fond of using precious metals and enamel to recreate spiders, insects, and various cephalopods. I love how these piece look beautiful and disturbing at once.
You can see more of Miller’s work in this online gallery. [via feuilleton]
