Okay! Wow, thanks for all the input. I fear, though, I need a bit more. I'm really intrested in the Bee for closeup work, and for more extreme positons (the abdomen raised in Waggle Dance; the legs stilt-like in dominance displays). Thus, I'll be making my own texture maps. I don't have a lot of money right now and I don't want to splash out on a model with no texture map that I find does not suit my purposes, so I would really like to know if this model will: does the abdomen bend? Does the head move? (for most insects the head does not move, but on some and for most of the hymenoptera, the head can move). I suppose it would have been pictured if the model had had a tongue (many of the bees have a proboscis, commonly called a tongue, used to suck nectar). $35 is a lot of money to me just now... I need this to be a fully articulated, neck, head, thorax, and abdomen with all six legs model , and I'm afraid I can't risk it if I don't know the model will deliver. It looks really good... but I need to know how bendy, how adaptable, it is, before I buy it. Thanks guys!
