Wonderful to see that you started making your own sculpts, Blaine! And the bed bug is an excellent choice, too. The Regal Moth caterpillar looks great. Have you thought about sculpting an elaterid, too? Too bad I rarely find the time to finish my own sculpting attempts.
Hmm, I could easily mention quite a few. Personally, I'd love to see figures made of these (both are sufficiently large enough for life-size models, too): Idolomantis diabolica and Ornithoptera alexandrae (actually, I've been thinking about making a pair on my own).Oh, and if you have fluorescent paint: How about Pyrophorus noctilucus?
Another excellent choice, Blaine! So is this the first figure/model showing an insect in thanatosis?
