Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Letter E 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Letter E – Needs to have two E’s in the topic word

This week is Letter E – Needs to have two E’s in the topic word (needle, elephant, geese, peek, jeep, eye, etc.). 

Here is my entry for this week:

Green beetle wings used to make the dress following

A Victorian dress made from 1,000 beetle wings that was worn by one of the most famous actresses of the era has been restored at a cost of £50,000.

The emerald and sea green gown - worn by Ellen Terry when she played Lady Macbeth at London's Lyceum Theatre in 1888 - is now on display in Smallhythe Place, Kent.

It is covered with the iridescent wings of the jewel beetle which the insects naturally shed as part of their life cycle.
