Hmmmm ... one of our cats dragged in a dead stag beetle the other day 
(in that 'here you go, I've brought a present for you' kind-of-way 
that cats have when they deposit dead wild life on the new carpet). 
Now, if I could put the dead bug in a mould, cast it in metal - there
you go, 
instant bug tanks !! On the other hand, would decaying chitin 
react with silicon rubber - and do I really want to find out !?

Perhaps it's not such a good idea after all ....
