Plastic bugs are great, but in the end they are plastic they don't show the details of the bugs, the features that can be used to identify them and you can't learn that much from a piece of plastic because it isn't anatomically correct to the microscopic detail. Taxidermy isn't my thing personally, but I do collect fossils and no plastic replica truely replicates the real thing and thus limits the knowledge you can gain from it.

Ain't my cup of coffee personally though

ordinarily texidermys not my thing either, but i too love my fossils and this is just a modern man made update of the whole amber thing

If it gets more people interested in the non furries then its got to be a good thing

Yeah they are not cheap! I did have some sea snake vertebrae but I sold off all the non-shark fossils last year to buy more shark teeth
