Description: Two identical, curved wooden forms are attached to each other near the tip, one placed upside-down, so that they create one long, vertical shape. The ends of the form where they are conjoined are rounded and delineated as a circle with a darker wood stain than the rest of the form. This area represents the heads of the insects, while the remaining curved area of the forms represent their bodies. Two round, beige, felt pads with a clear rhinestone at its center are attached to the head of each bug, representing eyes. The heads of nine antique wooden spindles project slightly from each insect’s left side, representing multiple legs.
