C is for Countdown to Halloween - 8 - Wilko's Pack of Bugs . . . seen before!

These were also (like yesterday's) bought a few weeks ago, and are a repacking of the slimy bugs we looked at a year or so ago, last time in The Works, but now with . . .

. . . added polyethylene ants! That's it, Wilko from Wilkinson's; another pound; more mag'gits and some ants!

Comparison shots with the previous lot from The Works, the new worms are a tad browner, and the maggots are a purer white, the unit-cost differential of extra ants is equalised by dropping a few pupae - six over the original ten + three ants!

Halloween - barely!
Scary - hardly!
Realistic - yes actually; the worms and maggots are!
Bargain - 11 critters for £1, yeah, I think so!

    I'm thinking that the ants make that a pretty cool back.

    I could see using the ants in some kind of insect attack diorama(?)


    Nice find!

    The beauty of all this stuff John is it can be used with any scale of figures, those worms would make nice baby spice-worms in HO/OO, but real spice-worms in 1:300 or even 1:1200 space-ship gaming!

    I never really looked into it but I rememberer back at the start of the blog John put me on to HOTT which is a free download and you can use armies of anything!
