Insect Buddha

I dislike all bugs.... they creep me out @_@;

Preserve insects to build a buddha statue!! well no "cockroach" here...still in mind about "beetle"insects.

@_@ I'm really scared of bugs...

Most crawling insects don't bother me - you can always put a glass or a bowl over a spider on the floor. It's the flying ones like moths that freak me out.

I'm indifferent towards bugs for the most part, as long as they leave me alone then I leave them alone. There are a few exceptions such as cockroaches or black widows those are kill on sight if I happen to see any near me.

Man, that thing is buggin' me out...

Sorry, I couldn't pass it up.

This looks like it could be a character in one of the 80s/90s action hero series (think Flashmen, Kamen Rider etc.)

Little bugs can be cute, big bugs are icky. At least the statue doesn't look like it's made of bugs from far away ^^;;

Say no to bugs =x I'm very very afraid of all bugs =/
If you won this as a giveaway prize you can always donate it to a temple ^^;

I hate all bugs and arachnids -.- I will do ANYTHING to make sure they don't come near me. Well, I'm fine with a small number of ants though ._.

Nope. No thank you Danny. I'm gonna pass on this giveaway.

reminds me of Beelzebub

anyways, i find it a bit contradictory for the sculptor to make a Buddha statue with DEAD insects

as a Buddhist, i somehow find it really...disturbing?LOL

The man has skills though.

I hate certain bugs like cicadas or cockroaches and such.. ^^;;

I like beetles though.

Bugs bug me... So no bugs, buddy... >,<

Only big or poisoness bugs scare me, little ones are ok in few amount of course.

Very creative!! I love it~!! (>_<)

Er...a cricket or a grasshopper?? the exotic insect food that favorite is a "fried beetle"..anyone??

i must say he's pretty dam good at sculpting with creative materials :P

bugs creep me out

oh I've seen something like this before! That guy sculpted it so well... It makes me wonder how on earth did he manage to keep all those insects intact! They break and fall apart so easily.

I'm pretty much fine with any bugs, I grew up with catching insects and bugs for fun.
The only thing I dislike are worms or centipedes. I'm fine with catching them, but if they crawled on me... I would flip lol.

Nothing freaks me out more than a cave cricket jumping toward you. If you are thinking "it's just a cricket" then take a look for yourself.

i scare all type of bug. @.@", feel very yuck..

Any bug is fine, just not the cockroaches. Ugh, see 'em, kill 'em.

awesome !!!

I'm not scared of bugs, but I would be cautious around them, especially spiders.

Creepy.........imagine if they were live bugs..... "_'

Um no...I think I'll pass...looks pretty good though I'll admit...

I don't like bugs, but I can stand them most of the time. Long enough to get rid of them, in any case. xP I wouldn't want this in my house, but...

Man that's impressive. It goes beyond a work of art, this.

euww... some people just have too many free times in their hands.

Some good old clean low fat proteins Yummy :D

I...hate...insects../

So much beetles, they catched them every night or so? 0_0

I like bugs ^.^ I remember as a kid I used to play with them a lot and once and a while eat one. >.>;

The prize for the next contest? Um.. no thanks. I'm good on Buddha statues made of insects.. O___O

It's funny hearing the audience's reaction to the statue. I'm still a little bit creeped out... *shudder*. But still... that guy has some serious skills if he could create a statue that big using bugs.

I hate bugs and insects, but killing them is also a pain too. I once spend more than 4 hours cleaning my sister's room just to kill ants.

i think of Kamen Rider when i see this for some reason.

Those bugs were just sleeping... yeah they do!

And when the time is, they'll awake and bring spirit to Buddha and moves, light, like Gundam does XD

Hmm.. Wonder what are they going to label on the shipping package...

This guy can beat Weevil Underwood anyday.

they should sculpt a demon or something malevolent instead.

It's amazing and unnerving to look at all at the same time.

What? Yuck, I can tolerate bugs but I really rather not be within a feet of a bug.

Cool! I think it should take so much time to collect that much of beetles.

Oh my...some of those bugs are pretty big. @_@

Giveaway Question: Where's Waldo!?

I have no problems using melee combat on insects unless it's bigger than the size of an egg. That's when I'll have to use my projectiles.

Its like in a cartoon when a bunch of bugs join together to form a fist or arrow.

That is freakin awesome!! What a creative method to make a buddha!!!

that is one freaky looking buddha statue

ugh, I hate beetles, would probably love to see it in real life though

hmm! statue made of dead insects. that ojisan sure had lots of time and patience to do that.

That statue is cool, but eww at the same time

That is so gross. Ugh, just yuck.

I'm mostly creeped out by cockroaches. I had the most memorable gate watch with those huge insects not too long ago... ^^;

I hate insects, esp those that fly around,.. but i'm into arachnids. i've kept tarantulas and bred scorpions :) my best setup being http://blog.poperror.com/?p=44

anyone else into arachnids? or have any exotic pets?

Oh...man...that's creepy! I hate bugs!

But I have to give it to whoever built it, amazing skill!

Just imagine - If it were made instead with the bugs STILL ALIVE

now that would be awesome and truly a sight to behold

Seriously, I want one of those! LOL XD

OMG EWwwww!!! Sick sick!! No offense but I HATE bugs!!

makes me sad though, I mean he killed all those bugs! Everything big or small has the right to live. Pretty amazing work and detail, but karma wise, oh man...

I have to say that I like it and I like all types of insects and arachnids and the like. I'm particularly fond of jewel beetles and lunar moth's as well as some arachnids such as the orb spiders and writing spiders that live all around the outside of my house and do a good job of keeping down the pest insects. That being said I dislike fire ants and I loathe flea's and roach's ( madagascar hissing roach's are cool though ) and fly's because the fire ants hurt and the other's carry diseases. I have had as pets the madagascar hissing roaches and african millipedes and pink haired tarantula's and several indigenous scorpions when I used to live in Georgia. I have kept non insect pets as well that were exotic such a giant pink lipped tree frog, various newts and salamanders and geckos, I've also had a salter water reef tank and owned a nautilus for a short while ( very hard to keep because they require cold water temperatures ).

I couldn't agree more with ayu, bugs give me the willies ;_;

I will usually go out of my way to remove insects from my home without hurting them. Spiders I will leave alone unless they are a potential threat inside the house, even then I wont harm them.
I have had a person tell me that if you find a honey bees nest in your home, to go the extra length to try and contact a bee keeper instead of spraying them as they will potentially pay you for them.
But a statue tiled with beetles? As exotic as it is I think shall pass on that.^^;

doesn't buddha like living things? Isn't he the anti-violence kind of chap? Building a statue out of corpses in his honor seems very, very wrong. I bet that whoever pulled this off is going to get incarnated in a beetle lol.

*faint* @_@

Iek!!

gahh! most things that have more than 4 legs freak me out

Hey, very pretty.

I mean seriously, insects (especially beetles) are nature's living jewelry.

awesome! I just know that insects will die soon after being caught ^_^

I'm fine with most insects. It's the larval forms (i.e. caterpillars) that creep me out.

That is some dedication indeed...

Cool Stuff!!

小強!!!

Bugs are so cool, so interesting.......
Its design has made them endure time!!!

COOL!

i agree the gloss and shine on bug shells are quite attractive sometimes...

But this is kinda scary to me lol, since i was never good with bugs....ANY bugs.

if they appear in your dish u're a screwed man =P

urg... I'd hate to see what the loser gets...

I might try to wack with newspaper if I get too close to it ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

I Dont know what to say Good Idea? or Bad Idead or an Insult? IDK. Interesting though. Quite Interesting. Buddha Statue made from Bugs? Maybe Symblozing Peace and Harmony with Bugs? Interesting.

I wonder how may insects had been used as material for that Buddha statue~~~~~

I dislike insect that can fly ^^;

creepy but at the same time amazing!

truly amazing...!! unbelievable..

well thats interesting O.O not really sure what else to say about something like that =p

I think that is pretty sweet. the only bugs that bother me are ones that can sting me, kill me, or are roaches. I like the old man's idea about the bugs getting to rest in peace by being made into a buddha ^^ I also noticed that towards the end of the video, a familiar music was played. I think I heard it in Inuyasha quite a few times ^_^

Seriously...
A total lost for words...

DO NOT WANT!!!

I HATE BUGS!!!!!!!!!!

Because I have an aversion to insects, I can't really look at the creativity and talent that went behind that piece. Well, I really like it, but it doesn't give me warm and fuzzy feelings inside.

RAID-!!

Wow that's... amazing in it's right but also a very, very creepy choice for sculpture materials o_o;;
I had to show this to my co-workers who were all female just to see their reaction XD

Cool, creative and discusting!

That man is great but poor insects, 20000 of them died to make a statue with their corpses *_*

I do not like things that can jump faster than my eyes can follow. Grasshoppers are a nightmare for me.

Very creative but all insects are died...
