Event Description:

Extinct and Endangered: Insects in Peril is an evocative photography exhibit that brings attention to the urgent extinction crisis threatening insect populations while showcasing the beauty and significance of these often-overlooked animals. A story told through stunning large-format macrophotographs by Levon Biss, this exhibit highlights 19 endangered or extinct insect species. Biss' breathtaking photographs, measuring 6 ft. wide by 4 ft. tall, reveal intricate, often unseen details of these fascinating creatures. Each photograph in Extinct and Endangered is created from up to 10,000 individual images using special lenses, capturing microscopic detail. Biss adapted traditional techniques to create a photographic process that reveals the minute details of insects in a resolution and scale never seen before. The collection offers a new perspective on their vital role in ecosystems and details the risks these insects face.
