I made some bug super hero action figures
They are real bugs encased in resin (no insects were harmed—they were already dead when I found them)
Ant- similar to Ant-Man but obviously not a man, just ant
All the standard ant powers
This is based on The Human Fly (but not human, just fruit fly)
I personally love it when they use the third power to get caught in my blink
(btw I left an Ant figure on a miniature peg board at my local Target)
Just letting you know that a friend of mine made a freaking ISOPOD bag from leather!!

I met some relatives of my beloved leatherleaf slugs in the mangroves of Singapore, the onch slugs! they’re perhaps some of the slowest-moving animals I’ve ever encountered; this is one in a hurry:
the species pictured is a Platevindex, which are particularly interesting to me since their backs are studded with extra eyes! the dorsal papillae each have a little black dot that’s a photoreceptor, which helps the slug detect changes in light exposure.
onchidiids are marine animals, living on costal rocks and in mangroves, but breathe air and spend much of their time out of the water. like the leatherleafs, they’ve got a dry, tough hide that maintains water balance, but Platevindex takes that to an extreme—when I picked one up, it felt like a vulcanized rubber tire!
