That saucy little minx Uranium Hobo just sent in these shots of him sporting some home-made bug plugs. It was his first time casting in resin and, while he says they’re not perfect, everything is “glass smooth” except for a few nicks around the edges that he says don’t affect anything. These ones were rather heavy and stretched out the piercings somewhat, so next up will be a thinner pair, more suitable for long-term wear, filled with mantises.

I love bug plugs. 😀 I wish I had the desire to stretch my ears large enough to wear them… especially for a praying mantis. That would be so interesting.

I’m not sure I understand the whole bug plug thing. I mean, I’ve seen them before, and I guess they look “bad ass” or something, but for me, it’s like wearing fur. You’re taking a life for a fashion statement. I don’t wish to get into an argument about weather insects are self aware or anything silly like that. In my books, anything where something had to die to make a decoration isn’t cool.

when i get my bugs for a collection there already dead, bought off collecters who breed them and when they die i get them made into display cases, some might be made that way but mine arent, your intentions are good but sometimes it gets annoying when people get preachy

Holy shit, those are amazing.

#24– if you want df plugs, find a pair that you like, and use those for the mold. (put the resin on the outside of plug to make the shape, then push the plug out.) from what i know about resin, it does not need to be made hot, room temp is fine. some brands may be different though.

I used to keep mantises as pets.
I guess if they’re already dead, 31, then it’s okay. Though I’m still a little sad now.
