Flea circus
Flea circus. Artwork of a human flea (Pulex irritans) wearing a dress. This painting decorates the trailer of Hans Mathes Flea Circus. The circus features trained fleas performing a range of tricks, including kicking balls, pulling miniature carriages and dancing in tiny costumes. The stunts rely on the natural strength and jumping ability of the fleas, which can move objects up to 20, 000 times their own body weight and jump 20 centimetres into the air. The circus plays to audiences inside a specially designed trailer for two weeks a year, at the Munich Oktoberfest in Germany. The fleas are viewed through a magnifying glass

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting world of a flea circus, specifically Hans Mathes Flea Circus. The artwork depicts a human flea, Pulex irritans, adorned in an elegant dress, adding a touch of whimsy to this miniature spectacle. Within the confines of a specially designed trailer, audiences are treated to astonishing performances by trained fleas. These remarkable insects showcase their natural strength and jumping ability as they kick balls, pull miniature carriages, and even dance in tiny costumes. It is truly awe-inspiring to witness these fleas move objects up to 20,000 times their own body weight and leap an impressive 20 centimeters into the air. The Munich Oktoberfest in Germany serves as the stage for this extraordinary circus for two weeks each year. Audiences gather inside the trailer where they can observe these incredible fleas through magnifying glasses that allow them to appreciate every intricate detail. This unique fusion of artistry and zoology highlights both the creativity of human imagination and the astounding capabilities found within nature's smallest creatures. As we marvel at this painting's vibrant illustration capturing clothed insects performing daring stunts with precision and grace, we are reminded of the boundless wonders that exist within our world.
