Yeah, that's the only one that showed up at Tarot Garden's database. ----------------------------------------------- Designer(s), Artist(s): Peter Wood Country of Publication: England Number of Cards: 22 Publication Year: 2000 Publication Status: Limited edition of 100 numbered, handpainted copies Description: Miniature major arcana cards aligning insects with the major arcana archetypes. Issued in a limited edition of 100 copies; each copy was hand-colored by the artist. 22 cards on uncut sheet (with cut lines); no box. Tarot Garden Inventory Class: Boutique / SOLD OUT - e-mail for reorder info. ---------------------------------------------------- I've seen individual insects on some cards in various decks, like butterflies, beetles, a preying mantis in the Osho Zen (I think) and some caterpillars, but this was the only deck I've heard of that was all insect related. Though someone else may have more info...

In the Animal Wise tarot, the cups suit are called Shapeshifters and they are all insects. The Australian animal tarot also has quite some insects (naturally :D) The Swedish witch tarot has fierce wasps in the 8 of swords, a big spider hanging on the Tower and probably more insects that don't come to mind right now...
