$128.00

Real Asian Giant Hornet, Vespa mandarinia japonica from Japan, presented in a handmade 5"x5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on parchment paper with the scientific name and country of origin printed below. This is a worker with a 2.35 inch wingspan, 1.35 inches from mandibles to the tip of the stinger! These are so arresting and incredible, I have been trying to find them for a very long time and I am so happy to finally be able to present a few for sale. This is one of the largest species of hornets on earth! You will receive the exact same perfect specimen shown in the pictures. Curious Kingdom has been lovingly crafting our handmade insect frames for over a decade. We have provided these natural displays for nature enthusiasts, museums, and television and film sets. Most of our insects are ethically sourced from farming operations located throughout the world. All of our insect frames are handmade from painted birch wood in the USA. I personally prepare each insect one at a time and put everything together here at my Bug Studio in Silver City, NM. All frames come with 99% UV protective glass so you don't have to worry about your investment ever fading. (Although it is a good idea to still keep out of direct sunlight.)
