From Phoenix New Times, August 13, 2009:
[W]alk out a nearby exit to experience New York-based sculptor Tom Otterness' Social Invertebrates, three polished bronze desert-dwelling insects executed in Otterness' signature cartoony style, with small men swarming over them. A mega-sized, shoe-wearing millipede (kissing cousin to the centipede), with two tiny men unloading coins from its rear end, vies for attention with an equally enormous scorpion in a top hat that's crawling with little guys engaged in all sorts of antics and a walking stick insect sporting high heels.
Type of insect: A scorpion, a millipede, and a walking stick
