A close-up shot of a watchbot with ruby eyes riding an atlas moth from my Watchbot Vivarium automaton. To see it in action check out my previous post. Watchbot Vivarium is a place where Watchbots observe exotic creatures and plants. Watchbots are miniature robots I create from watch parts. In this piece there are twenty-five Watchbots with eyes of rubies, sapphires, garnets, amethyst, and peridot. Featuring an Atlas Moth from Malaysia, a Gladiator Butterfly from Madagascar, a Peanut Lantern Fly from Central America, a Red Green Lantern Fly from Thailand, a Froghopper Fly from Canada, a Metallic Wood Borer Beetle from North America, a Rosy Maple Moth from North America, and a Mini Scarab from Hungary. #averoseart #watchbots #watchbotvivarium #atlasmoth #peanutfly #lanternfly #butterflyart #movingsculpture #automaton #mechanicalart #motionmechanics #butterflylove #mothart #giantmoth #miniworld
