There is a tiny little bug in Brazil that is called a Leaf Hopper that suck moisture out of leaves. My sculpture, called the Bazillion Rock Hopper, it is much larger and sucks oil out of desert rocks and can jump up to twenty feet at a time and its eyes can see inside of rocks.

Materials: The body is an oil pan from an ATV. The legs are parts of a chicken feeding system, the sucker is part of an antique victrola record player, the eyes are antique spoons, and the antlers are hay forks. The lighted eyes are currently rechargeable LED puck lights. The eyes could be converted to solar powered for exterior use.
