This time of year, the only beetles I care to see are the ones sitting calmly in the toy aisle -- or, in the case of Ms. Agatha Von Vanderbeetle here, the ones batting their eyelashes at me from an Etsy store.
Agatha actually has quite the back-story, having made the journey (as an orphan, no less) from the harsh Australian wild to her present home with Etsy seller chunkychooky. No wonder, then, that she's such a rugged little critter, machine-stitched from denim, suede and various other hardy fabrics, and finished off with strongly attached (and really cute) eyes.
Learn more about Agatha's journey, and pick up a Von Vanderbeetle of your own for $28 at chunkychooky's Etsy store.
