Amazing creatures live under our feet that we simply don’t notice (17 photos)

The world is full of amazing creatures. We don’t even notice many of them, since they are so tiny that human eyes are not really able to see them. They live in their own and unique microworld, where it is impossible for people to look into.





Scientists got out of this difficult situation and photographed them using macro photography equipment. Some of the resulting photos may look a little scary.

This, of course, is not surprising. The creatures depicted on them are not familiar to us, since they do not walk the streets everywhere. However, you need to remain calm, because fortunately these miniature monsters will forever remain in their original dimensions.
