Discover a creature born of pure imagination and ethical artistry with the Short Leg BoneBug, a unique sculpture handcrafted by Phillip S. Moore. This isn't your average 3D-printed toy; it's a piece of genuine, repurposed nature, part of our Bone Bugs collection that offers fantastical art at a budget-friendly price, echoing our larger, intricate bone sculptures.
 
From its very form, this BoneBug tells a story of contradictions. Its stubby front legs, crafted from Crevalle Jackfish ribs, give it a charming, comical wobble, a stark contrast to the powerful fish they once belonged to. Yet, its long, sweeping back legs suggest the grace of a subterranean swimmer, hinting at a life spent carving pathways through the earth.
 
Don't be fooled by its quirky gait; this pint-sized excavator is a master of hidden realms. Its head, a fearsome mask made from a Tegu lizard skull, guards its secrets fiercely. A single razor-sharp alligator tooth serves as a stinger, a potent reminder of forgotten battles and buried treasures.
 
Beneath its segmented abdomen, composed of Florida Everglades Burmese Python elements, three bioluminescent tendrils writhe like wispy whispers. These ethereal appendages, as if touched by magic, sense vibrations, guiding the BoneBug through hidden chambers and shimmering caverns. Some say their luminescence pulses with the emotions of other creatures, transforming the darkness into a map of feelings. The dark tones of Black Vulture bones add depth to its form.
Every bone in this sculpture comes from animals ethically sourced—either salvaged or repurposed—reflecting our deep commitment to Wearable Conservation (extended here to sculptural art) and ensuring no part of nature's bounty goes to waste.
 
This exact sculpture measures 5 inches long by 2 inches high. This is a one-of-a-kind piece, meaning the unique creature you see is the one you will receive.
 
Own a Short Leg Bone Bug, and you'll own a piece of earth's forgotten magic, a quirky companion with a story etched in every bone, handcrafted with respect for nature's raw beauty.
