My favourite specimen of my collection. I really adore praying mantises!

I haven’t made any framed “specimens” in a good long while so I figured it was time to whip up a rosy maple moth 🩷💛

Some of my recent insect dioramas…all made with found specimen and vintage objects.

First original content post I suppose! I actually have a genuine E. magnificus specimen. Lighting (and the plastic) doesn’t do it justice. It’s so beautiful you can even see the tiny scales shimmer slightly as you turn it in the light.

+ bonus Sanity Animal (my little guy I like to carry around in my pocket). I do love how accurate the plush actually is in comparison. Albeit without antennae, sure, but not bad at all for a cheap kids meal toy from 2000.
