The massive, luminous Population I Wolf-Rayet stars can be considered as stars with the highest known sustained mass loss rates. Around 10% of WR stars may form carbon-rich dust in their dense and inhomogeneous winds. Though we are yet to find how dust is formed in such an extremely hostile environment, we have made substantial progress over the past decade. Here we discuss the results of recent high-resolution mid-infrared imaging of a sample of the most prodigious WR 'dustars'. This allows one to map rapidly changing dust-forming regions and derive some basic properties of the freshly formed dust.

Variable dust emission by WC type Wolf-Rayet stars observed in the NEOWISE-R survey
NEOWISE-R data identifies ten new non-variable dust makers among WC stars (including three early subtypes), six new episodic dust makers, and revises the dust formation period of HD 36402 to 5.1 years.
