the artist who paints with bugs




Mr Kutcher, 63, uses insects as living paintbrushes, guiding them by using their reaction to light or simply letting them wriggle at will.
He said: "I'll take a bug in my hand and, leg by leg, load the paint on to each leg. Then I put them on to the canvas and off they go, leaving a tiny trail of coloured footprints in their wake.
"I can switch colours and even insects to create the effect I am looking for.
"If a bug is sensitive to light, I can influence its movement on the canvas by controlling the lighting.
