Beetles!

Beetles!

Posted by Wesley Fleming on 9/25/2006
Beetles! All made from Effetre (COE 104) glass on a GTT Lynx. Two are fantasy beetles and one is an exact replica of a species endemic to the mountais of Taiwan. A friend of a friend researches these "longhorn" beetles in Taiwan and gave me a book which he wrote solely on this type of beetle. 611 different species of longhorns live in Taiwan!
