It was an unlikely fashion accessory but the arrival of a jewel-encrusted beetle at a US border post certainly bugged customs officers. A woman crossing from Mexico at Brownsville, Texas, declared the live insect decorated with blue and gold as she drove up to enter the state but she did not have the right paperwork.
Similar brooches.
Pest control measures meant officers promptly confiscated the item worn as a brooch on the traveller's sweater and sent it for further inspection. The beetle was attached to the woman's clothing by a gold chain and safety pin.
