These guys are large bug thingy wannabes and so they are naturally a bit puny. Took all of two minutes to come up with one and then just rinse & repeat. ;)

Briolette Bug - 4-5 November, 2009
I was looking at this orange tourmaline briolette in my collection, trying to think of what to make with it, and decided on a bug. I thought it would look perfect as the abdomen peeking through lacy wire wings. Here's the result. :D
I just like the detail of these bugs, there wings are so fine, but must be very strong, the patterns and colours blend so well together. "I must be loosing it now" Better viewed large
Thanks for helping me with its name :)
The 14-spot Ladybird is a small lady beetle, native and widespread in the Old World, and invasive in North America. It is sometimes referred to by the common name 14-spotted ladybird beetle, or simply P-14. The background color ranges from cream through yellow to light orange, but not red. Only rarely are 14 separate spots present on the elytra; most commonly, several of the spots fuse into larger markings, particularly along the midline, where they often create a shape resembling an anchor, sometimes fusing to such an extent as to render the body almost entirely black except for 12 pale spots.
Latin name: Propylea quatuordecimpunctata
Polish name: Wrzeciążka
I bought this bug brooch years ago and LOVE him but - A- he's VERY heavy and suitable for a heavy coat or jacket only and B- as I said earlier- I admire jewellry but rarely wear much!
This assassin bug nymph does not yet dislplay wing buds. The body is only about 5 mm. I don't see how but the tips of the spines appear to have tiny drops of moisture. This seems impossible as the temperature was in the 90's and there has been no rain in 24 hours. Maybe it is a defensive goo or a glue to attract prey like cannibal plants (honey dew).

This tiny Pale Green Assassin bug (in nymph phase) landed on me and it had tiny crystals on it's legs and antenae. And, Yes, that is what my skin looks like on a microscopic level.
