I’m not sure what kind of bugs these are. Could anyone get excited about stitching flies??? The wings are lacy though, maybe they’re bees. Anyway, they’re interesting and that’s all that counts!
Modern ladybug. The lazy girl in me would be tempted to use this as a applique in red and black.

I saw the flies worked up many years ago at one of my grandmother’s houses. They are fire flies, the tail was done in yellow and gold.
