Caddis fly larvae build cocoons with whatever debris may be lying around. So, artist (or slave driver?!) Hubert Duprat decided to leave gold and precious jewels just lying around. The result: what Duprat describes as spectacular bio-organic jewelry. And he's taking all the credit, might I add.
I have to admit, this is kind of awesome and creepy all at the same time.
