Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.

I'd like to return the favour Pamela - but no idea of how to id the insect.   I think it is just a heavily stylized bug :)  Oddly, tho, the antennae seem to have been forgotten in the second pic., or am I just not seeing them?? :)

Artistic licence might allow these to be bees.

But surely (most) bees have their wings set very close togeher with the hind wings being much smaller than the forewings, not widely spaced with larger hind wings.

now Kev  -  you're taking it too seriously - after all it's only a stylized representation of a four winged insect...........actually, I thought it looked a bit like a winged termite (can you get winged termites?) :pb: :wsh:

and there is bohemian manufacturer named SCHLEVOGT in Gablonz and his signature is a bee or a bumble bee - but this looks more like an UFO  :sm:

Thomas, up to now didn't know of a Schlevogt-bee,  :huh: do you mean his father-in-law Hoffmann's butterfly mark ?
