    The butterfly is a pinch/clip system: wings are articulated, a band of metal acting as spring to pinch fabric after lifting the wings. 1" wide.

    The two unusual shape insects are 1.1/4" long.

    All have tiny garnet eyes (full of cruelty, eek!)

    Always got bitten by these as you can see ;-D

      Theyre just beautiful. Especially the butterfly. Love the items you collect. Have just left comments on your mussel and bee hatpin posts - I'm a little late - they were over 8 months ago! Have just come across your page. Stunning finds you have made. Thanks for sharing!

      Haha Roycroft! Even as a little girl I was TERRIFIED by bugs, butterflies, and all these living creatures which have more than 4 legs!
      Not afraid of snakes, or lizards or rats, but worms yes, lol.
      Thank you for your so kind comment :-)
