With their alien-like eyes these insects look like they have flown in from the set of the latest sci-fi movie..And the unique insects even pose for the camera and do not flinch as the photographer gets to within just three centimetres of them. The collection is an example of macro photography – where the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size. Photographer Yudy Sauw, from Tangerang, Indonesia, captured the extreme close-up photographs in his home studio. Pictured: Owlfly. Solent News / Splash News/Newscom.

Cars are parked in line overnight by Iraqi drivers waiting for a fuel morning fuel shipment at a petrol station inside the town of Darbandikhan in Iraqi-Kurdistan. Despite being an oil-rich country Iraq’s main oil refinery at Baiji is now the hands of ISIS insurgents cutting much of the fuel to the rest of the country. Petrol rationing has come in to force across northern Iraq with huge queues that mean many drivers wait in line for hours, sometimes overnight, just to receive their allowance of 30 litres.
