If you want to impress your guests with your [dining room glassware collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domain-glass), this is the set you need. The [set of glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/non-sake-set) comes with three different cups in varying sizes.

One has a butterfly, another a spider and the largest shows a giant web. Separately, the glasses are neat, sharing in a similar general nature and insect theme, but stacked the glasses actually create a [creepy crawly scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schneaky-espresso-martini) where the butterfly falls into the spider's trap to be eaten.

How many glasses do you know can tell a story as well as that?
