LOBSTER-2  $49  SOLD

Talk about being green, why not wear a bug?

What's so weird about that?  Well, it's an Emerald Beetle from Thailand, about 1-1/2" long.

The Thai people catch them and EAT THEM.  They pull off the wings and scoop out the nutty flavored white meat - the long-fingered ladies in particular scoop the meat out easily with their nails.

These beetles died naturally after reproducing, then are made into pins with brass pieces with legs, glued to the bottom, and then sold as lovely insect jewelry!

How's that for weird!  We now have them available!
