Hercules beetle

Let me just say, i love that glow in the dark mudpuppy, another thing that sort of caught my eye  was that worm life cycle, very unique indeed...

actually the earthworm life cycle is not unique...Insect Lore did one years ago  8)

Some nice figures there, I particularly like the jaguar and the flaming horse. The puma doesn't look quite right, though, too heavy-bodied.

Most of the stuff Insect Lore made are crafts and such for kids or rearing/viewing materials for live insects. They did however make a series of very nice life cycles: earthworm, ant, silkworm moth, painted lady butterfly, mantis, ladybug, darkling beetle...maybe a frog too (cant remember).

I have zero Insect Lore figures but I'd love to see a thread about them - especially since collectors' photos may help to decide if I want to get some of them and which of them. :)

I have all the arthropod life cycles and will eventually post them within their appropriate taxonomic places lol

Overall? They suck. Is that too harsh? No, because from an animal-collector POV, they suck. Tools? Wow.

Unless you count the Chinese Zodiac toob (if you're from another part of Asia? Sorry, your animals don't count). And I won't, because it probably means an astrological-sign toob is coming.

Yeah, I'm disappointed at the lack of new animal toobs. Personally I would've loved a canine toob, or a cats one. Or anything that can fit in a vaquita.

And what's with the family toob? The way they dress makes it seem like they're in a cult.

Darn, most of the images have gone. I need to start hosting images in threads like this myself to ensure they stay there in perpetuity.
