About Collection:

Historically, insect collecting has been widespread and was in the Victorian age a very popular educational hobby. Insect collecting has left traces in European cultural history, literature and songs. The practice is particularly common among Japanese youths. Now, I tried to rethink one of the oldest forms of collecting. Mechanical insects consist of 6 unique beetles, colored according to their geographical origin. In each drop, the number of copies is reduced by one. The last and rarest beetle will be released in just one copy. (c) Strss
