    It is a "Rock" when it's on the ground.
    It is a "Specimen" when picked up and taken home.

      That is a truly purty looking bug Jess. Was there any degradation in the colour?

        Not yet, If preserved properly it will retain most of it's colors.
        A light coating of clear spray enamel (not eurethane )and keep it in Bell cover.
