Telegraph has alerted me to the watchful eye and clever photography of Scott Linstead, and I’m impressed.

Photographer Scott Linstead, 33, goes to extraordinary lengths to capture these pictures in which creatures appear frozen in time. The former teacher spends up to a week arranging the lighting and phototraps which trigger the camera and flash. The human eye and reaction speed on the shutter release button are rarely quick enough to take the photos manually. Some of these pictures were taken in the wild, while others were staged on his kitchen table, in a warehouse or pet shop.

What flavor animal is this? It has quite the tongue span.

You are my favorite.

This fish spits to knock down its prey. Ingenius!
