                  Specimen #01125, 4/17/2001 
                  Length: 2.5 inches (body length) 
                  Composition: 12 karat gold filled wire, copper wire, 
                    green niobium wire, stainless steel #11 scalpel blades 
                  Collection site: Keukenhof Gardens, Netherlands 
                  Comments: The combination of warm copper with gold 
                    and green feels very pastoral to me. Grasshoppers are pretty 
                    sweet and harmless... but I had to give this one an eventful 
                    name. Just had to.
