Wow, that beetle picture is just awesome!
I really love those pictures, especially the beetle. Great finds!
Of course what catches my eye is the bracelet worn by the model apparently made from beetle horns or mandibles. Is there some message here? Brings to mind the Victorian interest in natural history and 19th century jewelry made from insects
