crawly

Another post that contains very lively matter.

Wouldn't mind this on a wall (on my side of the room of course; don't worry roomie!)

A praying mantis crawled on my foot after a basketball game, and I screamed so loud and flicked the damn thing off onto the wall.

But I love that Sex(after) piece! Love the idea of being a female praying mantis ;) ...sorry Gary!

i would love to have the letters...you could use those instead of the traditional multi-colored letter magnets for the fridge...you can leave lewd and inappropriate words...almost like you have turrets, so it's accepted and almost expected) that you leaave such crude remarks...ha ha!

that victorian fancy piece is amazing...is it in a museum or is it part of someone's personal collection. the use of emerald beetles is just spectacular.

I LOVE butterflies. Some shops sell butterflies pinned in big glass frameworks, but they're so expensive! I once saw one, bright blue wings, about 6 inches wide, just beauuutiful, wanted to hang it on my wall so bad, but well, it was far too pricey!
