g89z #7 These are 2 taxidermy orange/yellow and black carpenter bees on a piece of wood and shelf mushrooms that sit on a black wooden base surrounded by preserved flowers and moss, ferns and other foliage as well as a real snail and ladybug! Overall, this display stands 6 x 2 1/2", and the glass dome is removable. This is great for a classroom display and teaching tool as well as being a great addition to any collection!
