SHANGRALA'S

WHEN IT RAINS!

      If you've ever been caught in a down pour, you may wonder how the insect world copes with such a traumatic event. Russian photographer, Vadim Trunov in the Voronezh region in the west of his country, wondered just that and captured stunning photos of a variety of insects that do anything to get out of the way of giant raindrops - even occasionally using other insects as a makeshift umbrella!
      Vadim also explains how ants are able to travel on water. 'If you throw an ant in the water, it will not sink:,' he said. 'The ant body is covered with water-repellent wax-like substance. It is also surrounded by air bubbles attached to his exoskeleton. So the surface tension of the water supports the insect and the ant can walk freely on the water's surface.'
      Trunov takes his pictures using a macro lens to capture close up details with incredible clarity. He shows how the smallest of God's creatures survive when it rains.

Here's Some Of His Amazing Photos. Enjoy! :)
