You might not think of insects as the world’s greatest architects, but Nicky Bay’s stunning macro photography captures the tiny structures we would normally overlook.

Singapore-based Nicky noticed the tiny structures in the rainforest and couldn’t resist capturing this whole new teeny tiny world.
Like this Arctiine moth pupa encased in a delicate lattice work of, er, bug juice.
Insect hot tub? Nope, more pupa.
Using sticks and leaves often bigger than the builder, this insect creates a neat little log cabin to use as a chrysalis.
Or this web tower structure that we have dubbed spider-henge.
This bagworm moth larva/teepee is less than an inch high.
Looks pretty cozy to us.
