“Worth noting that non-insects (spiders, millipedes, scorpions etc.) were not counted towards the final record total of 864,” they wrote. “A lot of people think I like bugs – actually it’s the complete opposite. I’m afraid of bugs, I hate bugs. But is has multiple meanings, that’s why I put them all over my body,” they added what Amoia shared about his record.
“Mike has a plan to utilise his record-breaking artwork to create a unique NFT which can be sold to raise money for kids charity 'For a Bright Future',” they explained in yet another share.
