I am represented by Animals Animals / Earth Scenes stock photography agency in Chatham, New York. Please contact Animals Animals at 800-392-5503 or carissa@animalsanimals.com. Only a small proportion of my image files are in my online portfolio. For other insects, please refer to the stock list below or send a request for me to search my files to match your needs. Newly photographed or identified species may not appear on the current version of the species list. All images on this site are copyrighted by Donna Brunet; all rights reserved. Unauthorized use is prohibited.
With the exception of some of the moth photographs, all insects were photographed in the wild, not chilled or in captivity. I have one or more photos of each animal and plant in the following list. For most images, I have only used Photoshop for color corrections and cropping. A very few images have had plant stems, for example, cloned out of a portion of the image.
I started (April 2010) adding stock images that can be seen by clicking on the scientific name in the list below; but for now, very few of my stock images are available on my website and linked to this list.
