                  Specimen #01130, 5/28/2001 
                  Wingspan: 8 inches 
                  Composition: Sterling silver wire, black copper wire, 
                    steel linoleum knife blades 
                  Collection site: Mare Tranquilis 
                  Comments: I used a blowtorch to create the iridescence 
                    on the carbon steel wings. The intensity is totally dependent 
                    on the light and the viewing angle. This is my largest insect 
                    sculpture, to date.
