This is a handmade, one-of-a-kind art sculpture made from gourds. It uses two dwarf bottle gourds to form the body and dense wire inside the legs. Epoxy clay was used to sculpt the legs, carapace, and every small detail. It's painted with acrylics (and metallic powders if needed), then sealed with moisture-resistant sealer.  A wire is embedded into the belly for wall-hanging, or it can be displayed on a table or shelf. ***not for outside display***

Miniature Gourd Beetle #67 is a male Hercules Beetle. This iconic beetle is a favorite and it's the most recognizeable beetle in the USA! This sculpture measures 4.25" wide, and 5" long.
