@Mulegirltx, I’m especially fond of those beautiful iridescent green Jewel Beetles.

Did you know that the famous Victorian actress, Ellen Terry, wore a costume decorated with thousands of shimmering green beetle wings, when she played Lady Macbeth?

There’s a famous painting of her as Lady M., wearing the gown.  And the gown itself was recently restored and is now on display in England.  (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1366616/Victorian-beetle-wing-dress-worn-Ellen-Terry-display-50k-repair-job.html)

That iridescent green shimmer is so mesmerisingly beautiful, that I made a raincoat for myself, using iridescent green mylar-coated fabric.  When I wear it on a rainy day, I shimmer just like an enormous Jewel Beetle!

(Bonus:  The coat seems to be car-proof.  Because would YOU want to have to explain to a cop why you didn’t see it crossing the road before you hit it?)
