an animal that makes one understand why up until today brooches look like scarabs, butterflies, beetles and other insects… the little guy's longish shape is quite amazing. wait, i'm changing my mind here: he would make a very original barette to wear in one's hair! ; ) looks lovely on his pinkish microcosm! greetings, sabine. p.s.: amazing, how many animals are colored orange, white and black – can think of snakes, butterflies, spiders, fish, etc..
