The Unstartled Steppes of Dream
Inquiries, Requests, and a Place to Spill Your Guts
Submissions
I am Ashley.
This is my personal blog. If you want just marine biology, go here.
I love the world; I really don't like people.
I balance all this animosity towards the human race with being an almost always kind and gentle being to all creatures.
I'm highly introverted and nature is my primary escape from humanity.
Creepy-crawly-slimy things are my favorites. Dinosaurs are fantastic.
Future marine biologist; presently an amateur entomologist, ichthyologist, artist, biologist, and writer.
Literature, video game, and music connoisseur.
I'm so full of passion for the world that it hurts.
I think a lot, I laugh a lot, I love a lot.
Almost none of the photos are mine and only some of the drawings are mine.
Listen in.

What appears to be a selection of beautiful insect photographs is actually a series of photographs of glass sculptures by Vittorio Costantini. Costantini has devoted his life to making flame work creations of organisms in stunning detail.

EDIT: This is not a real beetle, it’s a glass sculpture made by Vittorio Costantini. Wow.
