It’s that time again for finding the perfect gift for the discerning person on your list (or for a good gag gift for the Grinches). \u00a0Here are some possible arthropod-themed items you may need to pick up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"spider-computer-mouse\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First up is a spider infused computer mouse. \u00a0I personally think the whole thing is a bit humorous as I used to have a bird eating tarantula that ate mice and this flips that- a “mouse” with a tarantula inside. \u00a0….maybe it’s just me that sees that angle? \u00a0Anyhoo, the website is in Japanese so good luck if you actually want to order one!\u00a0http:\/\/www.kyeagifts.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bloodmilk-tote\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This next one is actually something that I LOVE! \u00a0I follow Bloodmilk on Instagram (bloodmilk)<\/a> and she has some amazing items. As well as various jewelry items, she has an tote that has two awesome (in my opinion) things on it- spiders and books!<\/p>\n

The Comfort of Dust<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"cockroach-ring\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another item that I adore calls to my affinity for….yes, you guessed it…COCKROACHES! \u00a0And sorry folks, but this one is already in (actually on) my greedy little hands, so it’s off the market. \u00a0I had the ring custom made by Amanda Black of Black Rabbit Studios<\/a>\u00a0with a hidden cockroach. \u00a0She does amazing work and I can’t say enough about how beautiful my ring is. \u00a0She has many other items that are inspired by nature, so check her out!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"beetle-earrings\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’re into real insects, then these beetle earrings may be for you. \u00a0Made by Insect Art on Etsy<\/a>, they will certainly grab people’s attention and provide an ice breaker at any holiday parties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"coffetopia-roach-art\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been following coffeetopia<\/a>‘s (Ghidaq al-Nizar<\/a>) work for awhile. \u00a0He creates art from coffee grounds and they are stunning! \u00a0My favorite, of course, had cockroaches!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"dragonfly-paper-chandelier\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This paper dragonfly chandelier is would be perfect for a child’s room or to add some natural theming to a home. \u00a0Made by kismetsunday<\/a> on etsy. \u00a0They have dragonflies, butterflies as well as seahorses, leaves, snowflakes, jellyfish, koi and other designs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"insects-au-gratin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Susan Soares is twisting the insect theme with her insects au gratin<\/a> line. \u00a0She 3-D prints (with dried insect powder) items that can be not only used or worn, but eaten! I think this is an interesting concept that creates not only beautiful works of art, but items that make you think about what can be\/ is used as food around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
