Red Bug Mugs
Description: A Deer Tick. Also called the Black-Legged Tick. Creepy little parasites that are my personal most-feared bug. I thought it would be fun to make a design with one. Where I grew up in Maine, these little parasites have become a huge menace to anyone who sets foot in the woods, or even the tall grass at the side of the road. All Mainers have discussed methods for staying safe from these little creepy-crawlies, at some point.
Description: A June bug! These big heavy red-brown beetles show up in Maine almost exactly on June 1st every summer. You can hear them every night thunking their big hard bodies against the windows as long as the lights are lit, and the sound brings happy summer vibes, rather than being annoying. As a kid, I loved catching them.
