A distinctive photographic approach to insects, “Militainment and Insects,” is on display in the Patricia Scott Gallery at Ohio University-Chillicothe’s Bennett Hall.
The exhibit by Benjamin Montague, a faculty member at Wright State University, will be on display through Dec. 24.

“It began as an escape, an exercise to see how light passed through and around (the insects’) bodies,” he said. “I was like a child peering through a microscope for the first time.
