You should clothespin her little nose!
Constance is the first doll I ever carved, and I hadn’t got the hang of facial topography yet, so alas there isn’t enough nose! But in fact the stink bug was very polite, and she didn’t need to anyway.
Just read an article about the Stinkbug and how it is spreading across the US. 55 million year old fossil…just imagine…I got all excited when I found a spear point (in the flower bed) that is very very old but not in that category. Imagine finding something like that little bug!!
Always exciting to find things in flower beds, mostly I find neglected flowers 😟Oops! Yes these fossils are quite spectacular!
Yipes! Truth be told, the only way I enjoy most insects is in their fossil form. Constance is a true scientist. One of the few insects I enjoy landing on me…that have antennae… are butterflies.
Constance does love studying nature, alive and kicking, but also very very old! It comes from living with a museum employee, I expect.
