Specimen | Paper Wasp (Polistes tenebricosus)
These Paper Wasps (Polistes tenebricosus) have been dried and preserved, then spread into position ready to frame or display. These wasps have a wingspan of approx 45mm.
These large (25–35 mm) Asian paper wasps within the Polistinae subfamily come from Indonesia.
Identified by a dark, reddish-black body with a distinctive golden sheen under light.
They are A1 condition. This means that although they're in excellent, complete condition, occasionally an antenna or leg might come loose in transit and need to be repaired.
These are ethically sourced from a sustainable insect farm that helps provide jobs to locals in developing countries and protects land and rainforests.
