Kiwipaul wrote once about the "London bus effect":
You're waiting and see none in hour and then two at same time :-)
I wanted one of those for a long time, all I watched on EBay went for way too much!
The yellow and purple glass one was bought damaged from France at cheapest, repaired today and arrived another, from France too, bought at affordable price!
What is amazing is they are English.
You can see the similarities and difference between them, I think they are from same maker but different era.
The last one isn't glass, there is no bubbles in it, crystal!
These are so charming! I thought the darker was amber till I red your text. How small are they?
Thank you Elisabethan! Sorry to have forgotten to tell the size!
They are 1.1/4 inch or 3.5 centimeters long :-)
Thankyou, they are truly special :)
Take a look there, a little smaller:

Very nice indeed Kyra!! Looks like you came out way ahead on these!

Scott, I was very lucky to get mine way cheaper, thank you so much for taking time to visit and leave your lovely comment!
I love them, too. Look at the feet on the new one! And I like the way they twisted the square silver legs. Interesting 'twist' on the theme!
these look like weevils to me. nice!
Thanks friends, they are very special :-)
Weevils have this kind of trunk too, you'really right Ho2cultcha !
Hi Kyra, as my Brit buddy told me the expression it goes: "Just like a London bus, you never see one, then two come along at once!"
More cool critters!
Paul, I just love this so true saying :-)
Thank you for posting the original, and for your kind comment!
Love them both, very unusual they are English.
Thank you Marga for loving the new bugs :-)
I would love to see what other kind of stuff their maker did :-)
kyratango, what beautiful beetles! I love comparing the differences between them, so interesting to wonder if they really were made by the same maker. The one in the link is exceptional as well, beautiful colors. How lucky you are to own two of these bugs, well done you!! :)
I love them, but of course you know that! Beautiful!
Katherine, I'may very glad and still amazed to have been able to catch them! Thank you :-)
