Davie McPhail has a great vid; for some reason (5 yr old OS?), mine keeps dropping out halfway thru so this is for my sanity as much as anything. A neat, easy sunken beetle; this would be fun to swing past some cut-banks.

rib - oval tinsel silver
shellback - peacock sword
body - rug yarn dubbing black (original calls for seal)
