Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts; the bag keeps the trackable clean and prevents tangling with other items. Otherwise, take the travel bug anywhere you wish.

Photos of the travel bug are appreciated and I will be re-post them here.
This is one of a series of travel bugs made to recognize paintings seen, and admired by the bug owner. A digital copy of this painting was downloaded from the internet. The copy was reduced in size and proportions cropped to accommodate the laminating materials available to the owner. Regrettably these processes diminish the effort of the artist. One truly must see the original in person to fully appreciate the work. The text below is a mixture of my own observations and material gleaned from the internet (mostly Wikipedia and Web Gallery).
Charles Emile de Tournemine (1812-1872) painted a variety of subjects but he is most famous for his scenes from Africa. Unlike many of the Orientalist painters of his time, de Tournemine was a traveler through his extended military service and had actually been to many of the Middle Eastern and African countries. This large painting shows the grand scale of these elephants and Africa. This work was seen in the Musee D'Orsay, in Paris, in October 2012.
