I've just finished making these ancient Roman inspired "laurel wreath" crowns out of jewel beetle shells and preserved 17 year cicada wings. I've done three of the jewel beetle ones, so one is in my Etsy (link in bio), the cicada wing one is one of a kind so far so I haven't listed it yet. I'm really happy with how these came out!

@clusterkriff submitted: Found these big babies inside a rotten log in [removed] in January of this year. Pls don’t post location.  After viewing, they were placed back in their log!

These precious large-headed children are jewel beetle larvae in the family Buprestidae! Couldn’t say which species at this stage, though.

What's this? An insect known as the Madagascar blue jewel beetle (Polybothris sumptuosa). Dazzling, yes?
