That is, as some say, "Spot on!"

I am currently in Washington ... Cape Disappointment, to be exact. And the crane flies are out in force here.

Your bug looks exactly like these bugs.

 

Very nicely done, indeed.

It truly is beautiful. But I can't believe you'd actually USE it to let a fish chew on.

Dear zairusdee,

 

I made the Wings the following Way: I took a picture it the Wing and brought it with Photoshop to the right size and printed it out. Then I fixed it with stripes on the Table. Over that I fixed a sheet of clear foil and then layed every single vein made from Moose Maine Hair and glued them in with Super Glue. After their all in I flood the Spaces between them with Super Glue and press on another sheet of clear foil. Now cut out with a Scalpell and clear the Edge with a fine Scissor. ... Done :-)
