    Donivan in right. Insects are beautiful, and that's why I enjoy
    making them. Mostly now I do custom insects-and lately have made a
    scorpion with lapis eyes; a two inch long carpenter ant and a flea.
    (Ther're not on my website yet) I've just had inquiries about a
    Gadfly(horsefly) and a stink bug (beautiful shape). When possible, I
    like to work from preserved insects. I then spread them and mount
    them in a double sided glass frame so the front and back can be
    seen. I, too have a whole wall of real preserved exotic insects
    instead of photos. There is a large group of insect people here in
    the US also. They are collectors, and have an unbelievable amount of
    information. I discovered a Forum, not unlike this one (except the
    people are not as nice) where there are long discussions about the
    fine points of insect ID. Didn't mean to go on so long, but this is
    one of my favorite topics. And thanks for the link!
