    These are not vintage but are still interesting items. All from my Rose Bowl visit of course.
    The glass dome is 11" high and has a single butterfly on top. I am thinking I could add a few bugs and various items to it.
    The whip scorpion isn't actually a scorpion but fairly close. The front legs are used as a sensor of sorts. It is not venomous and has no stinger. The body is 11/2 long not counting the appendages.

      I have some pendants that are dead insects in acrylic that I love - this one is a step up from them!

      Thank you very much racer4four. Glad you appreciate dead bugs like I do.

      Eeek! They are real, won't touch them, neither the butterfly...
      Strange for a bug collector, uh?
      But love your collection :-)

      Well thank you very much pops52. There is always fun stuff there.
