    Mardel, Sorry, I should have taken pictures of the pieces but didn't
    . I don,t have them here any more. There were no markings. The
    shells were the actual shells of the beetles, a dark green, almost
    black body with tiny indented spots of a much lighter, almost
    flourescent green. The pieces were fabricated and the shells set
    with prongs. Jerry in Kodiak
