Peepers! Just finished up a large batch of felt fish customs!

and that's not even about keeping the information "privileged" to the library staff, these days they don't even keep a digital record of an item's history of borrowers; once you return a book, there isn't a list of everyone thats ever taken that book out that your name gets added to (though they probably take a tally of how many times it is checked out for circulation statistics).

i think the card system is a remnant of a culture that could only exist in the world before the internet as it exists today, where this identifying kind of information wasn't always readily at your fingertips, even for those at the "information professional" level.

Mecynorrhina Beetles

Mecynorrhina Beetles are giant flowers beetles very common in the beetle rearing community, and highly popular. A good portion of them have been bred for the colours, and subfamilies mixed together to create different variants - M. Ugandesis and Torquota are the biggest example of it where hybrids are named M. Torquota Ugandesis.

They come in a VAST array of colours from pure blacks, to reds, oranges, blues and purples, and even blended colours together to create beautiful patterns. I would call them the pigeons of the insect hobby.
