ID this bug?
« on: March 11, 2013, 02:20:32 PM »
Anyone know what this bug is, I'm trying to work out more exactly how to put it together, primarily the two pairs of legs. Any ideas?

Could it be one of the Eureka bugs, sold in Europe by GZG, back in the early 2000s?

IIRC, the two leg pairs are joined to each other, then the torso is dropped on top. The two separate legs should fit in notches next to the mandibles, but it's been years since I saw one of those, so my recollection may be way off.

Thanks guys.

Yep the main legs (the ones I'm not sure about) have "cups" where they join, but the torso has only the one ball which fits the cups.

It's the Eureka/gzg one. Had one once. Wish I had kept it and bought more.
