Mafly Madame
One Left!
A beautiful butterfly sits centre stage atop a rose in this more civilized tile figurine. Around her wander creatures of the hedge - a nut weevil named "P-Nut," a little maggot, a bug wearing a bowler hat, a tadpole, a tiny aphid, and a small worm. Yet this tile isn't without a bit of mischief. Notice the spider's expression at bottom left, directed toward the weevil in "Cata's Pillow."
Slow Downs
Amidst the beautiful magic lantern flowers on this tile figurine we see a beetle jockey, taking out his prized thoroughbred snail for a run. A rival trainer attempts to spoil the day's training session by spreading "Saxo" salt on the snail's tail. Notice the chevrons on the salt container. Try to guess what this has in common with cooking salt?
The Long Sleep
This tile figurine is resplendent with flowers - irises, morning glories and forget-me-nots - but may be full of danger as well. A hungry lizard creeps through the foliage toward a bug sleeping peacefully in his leafy hammock. His friend tries to awaken him so his deep sleep doesn't become the long sleep.

Cata's Pillow
One Left!
Is the caterpillar in this tile figurine looking to rest her weary head on the plump mushroom, or does she plan on gobbling it up? Whatever her intent, an earwig attempts to ward her off, though his efforts are futile. Already a slug, weevil and little worms have buried into the caps. This is of no concern to the performing bug top center, who cares only for his admiring audience.
Two Blind Mice
Two shortsighted mice are the central characters of this tile figurine. The leading mouse sports an eye patch and swag bag while the other wears a monocle and smokes a pipe. As they busily collect holiday berries, a little bug above them holds on for dear life to a sprig of holly. His friend peers from the petals of the Christmas rose off to the left, scared by his mate's predicament. Another bug hides in ivy tendrils at top right, wearing hat and scarf, because it's cold.
