A BeardBugs Beard Clip is a beard clip that utilizes paper bugs caught with Bugs on Parade jars to customize them. They were sold at the shop Don't Bug Me!

They will also work with crustacean paper replicas found with a Life Aquatic Collection Device and paper bird replicas found with a Jeepers Creepers Spyglass.

Tier 1/OTS

Analyze

You take a closer look at a tarnished silver beard clip.
You analyze the silver beard clip and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a BeardBugs Beard Clip.
While holding a paper replica of a Bugs on Parade bug, Life Aquatic crustacean, or Jeepers Creepers bird and holding or wearing your beard clip, NUDGE the clip to always have a friend close by.
Verbs: WEAR, REMOVE, PINCH, NUDGE
Alteration Instructions:  This must remain a beard clip that is made of metal, and it must be capable of discreetly holding a Bugs on Parade, Life Aquatic crustacean, or Jeepers Creepers paper replica.  It cannot be tailored to any one specific kind of inhabitant.

You get no sense of whether or not the clip may be further lightened.
