whaaaaaaaat ?

Bizzare, no? I mean I’ve used the shedded skin of a snake before on my nails but not whole bugs And I certainly didn’t kill anything for fashions sake

Its been a thing in Central America for a while now.

Personally I think its ridicilous and unnecessarily cruel. Hundreds of thousands of scorps killed for a novelty fashion.

We dont need to kill animals for pelts to keep warm anymore. So doing so for aesthetic purposes is nonsense.

If they’re already dead ahead of time I don’t see why not. My guess is that may not be the case though....

Unfortunately, its not the case.

I don't see any harm in it, if the specimens are dead or they're using exo-skeleton/shed skin.

But killing something to have interesting fingernails for a little while is definitely selfish, cruel, and wasteful.

Never heard of this and I got family in DF. Mexico is in North America not Central...

The next article is about fuzzy “nostril hair extensions”...I think I’d rather have those than murdered scorpion nails.

At least it's better than the prolonged cruelty of live insect jewelry... https://www.missmalini.com/2012/06/18/bug-on-a-leash-the-roach-brooch/

If I ever felt the urge to wear a real insect (or at least the package that it came in), I'd opt for caddisfly larva jewelry. It's beautiful - and the bugs are not harmed in the process. https://www.thedodo.com/artist-collaborates-with-insec-646566144.html

Mexico is in North America not Central...

You sure about that?

 

[MrsHaas]

You sure about that?

Ask google, lol:

“In contrast to the common definition of "North America", that which encompasses the whole continent, the term "North America" is also used to refer to Canada, Mexico, the United States, and Greenland.”

@chanda ive seen that before. Disgusting display of human vanity

 

[Moakmeister]

The scorpions at least look kinda cool. The butterfly wings on the other hand look terrible. I wouldn't even be able to tell they were butterfly wings if they didn't tell me.

Central America isn't a continent, bud.
