Miscellaneous Japanese - New for 2021

[BlueKrono]

They don't appear to represent any actual fish species, just generic fish bodies with attractive colors, like many actual fishing lures.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here collect fishing lures? I collect different types of lizards, and occasionally frogs or toads if they're particularly interesting.

[Gwangi]

I don't collect them but fishing is one of my hobbies so I have a lot of them, including some antique ones. There are some lures that could nicely represent a particular species in a collection.

speaking of lures, a set by Tarlin:

Sasto 3D File Ladybugs & Scarabs:

Updated with identifications; appear to be coccinellids paired with scarabs:
Pair 1: Callicaria superba & Mimela splendens (green)
Pair 2: Coccinella septempunctata (A) & Mimela splendens (Reddish purple color)
Pair 3: Coccinella septempunctata (B) & Mimela splendens (Ruri color)
Pair 4: Cryptogonus orbiculus (different color than the 2020 set) & Chrysina resplendens

The C. superba, C. resplendens, and M. splendens are new species in the toy realm. The C. orbiculus was made only once before, in the 2020 version of this set.

I have a standing invite from someone in Japan to take me around to the shops and natural history stuff of as much of Japan as possible... someday

Birding is probably all I could realistically do. The cost of getting to Japan wouldn't allow me to go toy shopping.

That and the facilities would be my entire reason to go!
