I like the drummer bug!I could knot be more charmed and amused by a scarf than I am with Emile et Une Nuit.
Seriously - I love it so much.

And a monkey? But on closer inspection think it might be a rat? At any rate - monkey or rat - he’s got a cupcake that looks amazing!

Wonderful post and details of the scarves, I love your insights. Most of those I have no guesses on whatsoever!View attachment 6155936Good morning!! This is my view as I write this post.
First wifi in 14 hours - will catch up on posts later today but here is my critter post of today!
Not everybody like bugs or other invertebrate critters but can we accept them on scarves?
I Think nobody objects to butterflies, like the classic Farandole or the wing on L’esprit de foret ?

And lady bugs can hardly bug us either? But what about crickets, mantis or flies? Or spiders! Do you reject - or embrace a scarf due to it’s insects or spiders?

Are there any scarves with worms, maggots, millipedes, cockroaches or any other bug we may consider unlikeable?
Some invertebrates are contrary to these considered delicious ( though I have tasted quite nice and crispy crickets and fried larvae).
But some invertebrates we really want to eat! The lobsters, oysters, octopus, langusts and shrimps. They are found both as parts of elaborate meals and in their natural environment in the designs.

Wish you a day of smooth waters!
Wow, beautiful @Croisette7 at it again with a marvelous scarf - cuff - and brooch pairing. What a way to take a soft peach / coral and make it bold! I love this!
Mind blown that there is a scarf for just dragonflies! Such beautiful colors in yours. I very much like the etoupe hem too. I may have to look this one up!Good morning! I have a morning of pre-vacation, non-scarf friendly chores so I am sharing some insects from the archives today:

Thank you for sharing so many details and your appreciation for this design. It caught my eye when I first saw one on this thread some years ago and is one I've longed to add. Knowing the overlay for the feathers adds dimensionality just makes the longing even more. And the kingfisher.... a very special scarf indeed. Thank you for sharing your beauty @darkstar66 !Hello dear scarfies,
My scarf with the most insects is La Vie au grand Air. It is old and battered and has some stains which will never part but I love it deeply. Although it is not a popular scarf, it is very special in its naturalism. The birds all have a blanc matte overlay which turn their plumage opalescent and produce a three dimensional effect.

Oh @Cookiefiend you have a great sense of humor! I hadn't noticed that little monkey rat before. On inspection of the hind legs, which look more rodent-like, I'm going with some sort of kangaroo ratI could knot be more charmed and amused by a scarf than I am with Emile et Une Nuit.
Seriously - I love it so much.

Oh how I absolutely love your matching scarves and pins 🤩🤩 - thank you for sharing them!!!
I cannot hold that against you!!! I like my insects out in nature, not so much inside 😊Wonderful post and details of the scarves, I love your insights. Most of those I have no guesses on whatsoever!
Not that I avoid a scarf due to spineless critters on them. I like bugs, generally speaking, but I have to say the little beetles that come out this time of year and crawl all over my window screens, squeezing into and infesting their way all over... not a fan. Box elder beetles I think they are called. Confession: I once bought a venus fly trap solely because I wanted it to eat the box elder beetles that found their way inside. Admission: It did not work. Not at all.
Thank you for pointing out the crustacean on La Vie Mediterrane - I had not noticed that before! This week is turning up quite a few fun discoveries.
Smooth waters to you too @HermesEchidna !
Hey sister - I agree!! And a few of the bugs in my post today are from La vie du grand air as well. I love both the birds, the bugs and the border!!Hello dear scarfies,
