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.
