This unique one of a kind fair-trade ornament represents a mosquito.  Clearly mosquitos are not human's favorite insect since a female biting a person to get blood to feed its young can transmit malaria and other noxious diseases.  Male mosquitoes, however, play an important ecological role like many other flies by pollinating the flowers they visit to gather nectar. 

We doubt we will place large orders for these ornaments, but we bet there is at least one person who would treasure having this ornament for their own special purpose.

This ornament was woven with chambira palm fiber by a native Amazon artisan. The sale of these ornaments supports forest conservation and helps meet local needs in traditional communities in Peru. This insect ornament was made an artisan from San Francisco on the Maranon River.

This ornament comes with a tag listing the name and home of the artisan who made it and the plants used to make it.
