Inspiration for "Small Stuff"

This painting was great fun! Inspired by traditional biological drawings, and prompted by the long lists of things we identified after each day's trek, I launched into it with the beautiful curled-up 'pill millipede' (centre) looking like some beautiful varnished piece of jewelry... and I was off! Though not painting them all to scale I have been as accurate as I could with the detail of each organism. Borneo is all about "biodiversity" (it is known as one of the world's biodiversity hotspots), a single rainforest tree may be hosting 1000 different insect species. The place just teems with life forms.
