Regiarbol Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Wow very nice! It seems that you glued your beetles though. And is it just the lighting, or do two of the beetles have blue wings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Minard Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Very nice. I'll post some of mine soon I guess. Most of my collections aren't that much of an artistic display but mostly scientific. I'll still post them. Very nice start to a collection!
