Insect and Arachnid Jewellry
You looking for that weird gift for the oddball in your life? Mom and I found it while picking up some bird seed at Edgewood Feed and Seed:
Actual beetles, spiders, scorpions, ants, wasps, etc in key chains, bracelets, and necklaces! Yes, they are dead and encased in some type of transparent plastic looking thing. Some even have a glow in the dark background.
Above is a glow in the dark cicada key chain on the left (wrapped in protective plastic wrap, that's why there is a slight glare) and on the right is what looks to be a cicada killer (non glow in the dark). Most of them appeared to be in the $6.95 - $8.95 price range--a bargain!
I picked up a glow in the dark spider key chain for Mr. Neil (because he has a character named spider) and spider necklace for Fabulous Lorraine (she just likes to wear things with cobwebs and spiders, so it seemed right up her ally).

That ranks right up there with the moose turd jewelry that they used to sell up on the North Shore!
I wonder if that cicada killer is actually a Asian (or Japanese) Giant Hornet. They are famous for the video on Natl Geographic of a group of honeybees literally "burning" one alive.

Good Lord! The bugs in this jewelry look HUGE! i'm not so sure I'd need one of those hanging from my house keys...I have enough bugs already.
Thanks for the insight there, Mr. Belardo (when I say your name like that you sound like a Bond Villian).
I wonder if it is an Asian Giant Hornet--the insects are not labeled apart from some Asian lettering that translates into "Made in Japan."
Very cool link by the way!
Thats cool collections indeed.swarovski crystals do hold some great collections.
