Unumgar Inclusions are our band merchandise. They are contemplative art objects comprised of local insects mounted in resin, accompanied by plant and mineral samples. We are currently undertaking market research on our products during our Certificate III in Micro Busness Operations, and our trial products can be seen at our Etsy store.
The image below is of the nymph casing of a cicada, an exoskeleton abandoned during pupation. Our inclusions often contain entire insects however, and the collection and treatment of these insects is undertaken under a mindful no-kill policy based upon Ahimsa principles. If you have any questions regarding the treatment of insects during the production of our Inclusions, please email us on contact@watlingbates.com and I will send further information.
The Inclusions take a snapshot of our environment, observing the ebb and flow of different species with time. Our Christmas beetles are an excellent example, appearing in late November, and by February no longer to be seen. During December and January their plague proportions were likely responsible for denuding tree plantations in the surrounding regions.
We love our insects, and we no longer use pesticides in our house (aside from termite control) as we cannot bear to see insects suffer. Unumgar Inclusions offer a way to celebrate the beauty and diversity of these amazing beings after they have packed up their horns, spikes, and armour and gone to insect Valhalla.
