While random on their own, these foraged parts work harmoniously together to depict a fictional insect.

UK-based artist Mark Oliver upcycles scrap parts into small sculptures of insects.

TitledLitter Bugs, this series aims to repurpose abandoned objects into a time capsule.

Various scraps can be found in these clever combinations.

Everything from gears, keys, wood, playing cards, and books are carefully pieced together.

As a result of this attention to detail, the bug sculptures look like magical timepieces.
