2x2x2" Two real Tea Shield Bugs are preserved in crystal-clear resin and carefully arranged on a rocky outcrop within a miniature habitat. Complete with lush green grass and a tiny sprouting plant, it's like an entire little world captured inside a solid cube. The insects are a rich dark orange color and, in the right light, can shimmer with iridescent purple highlights. Made with two real Tea Shield Bugs (Poecilocoris latus), this display showcases a species commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions of South and East Asia. These shield bugs are known as agricultural pests in tea-growing regions, but they are still really cool looking. As with all real insects preserved in resin, size, color, and positioning may vary slightly. Show more
