Critters

I'm calling this page "Critters" for lack of a better name. "Bugs" might be more appropriate, but I certainly don't want you to have "bugs" in your computer!

 

Caterpillar Caterpillar. This guy is made of small iridized nuggets, hobby-size lead came, no. 20 wire, and a little extra solder at all the wire ends. He has 10 legs and stands a full 5/8 inch tall excluding the antennae. His overall length is 4-1/2 inches. (Click the picture for a larger view.)
 
Flying Insect Flying Insect The flying insect. She is made of glass nuggets, hobby-size lead came and no. 18 wire. Her height is 1-1/4 inches to her wingtips, and she is 2-1/2 inches long overall. The jump ring at the apex of her wings permits hanging her by a thread, as if she is flying. (Click the pictures for larger views.)
