The perfect bead!

What do you think?  Is this not the perfect bead for a beetle?  Now, if you want to see beetles, I almost made myself ill this afternoon looking through this array of beetledom! 
 From beetles to bees, much friendlier creatures.  To get my bee fluffy, I used the turkey knot for his body.
