The ubiquitous Sixpin beetles were scavengers that helped to breakdown depleted creatures and flora throughout the forest floor. The variety of colors within this species evolved as environment-specific camoflauge.
• This specimen form was derived from Blister Beetles (family Meloidae). I rarely make multiples of the same design, but I enjoy this form so much, I did create a few of these for this release. Each one has its own unique characteristics; amely each one has a small individual watch hand running the length of the body.'
• The creature is polished on the face with frosted back and sides.
• The brass hardware is expected to patina.
• The cast insect is susceptible to fingerprints and may have slight surface imperfections. The cast piece can be cleaned with a tiny amount of rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth.
• Is this perfectly machine-crafted? No - slight imperfections will allow you to recognize this is all handmade and one-of-a-kind.
• Comes with certificate of authenticity.
