Golden Mosaic On The Fly

This little bug critter is actually a caddis fly larvae who has used precious and semi-precious materials to make a protective casing for itself. The gold flakes, the pearl-like pieces, and the other bug bling materials were provided by French artist and naturalist Hubert Duprat. The design itself is by the fly.

I thought these looked like works of art and deserving of a spot in the Crafter's Gallery.
