Xylocopa latipes — Giant Carpenter Bee

An impressive giant carpenter bee with a robust black body and broad wings that reveal subtle purple and bronze iridescence under changing light.

The substantial size and powerful build of Xylocopa latipes make it a particularly dramatic bee specimen, especially when displayed with its wings fully extended.

Displayed in a 4x4” black shadow box frame with white backing.

Please note: Each specimen is a genuine natural specimen and is therefore completely unique. Minor variations, markings or imperfections are part of its individual character.

Carefully prepared and framed by House of Specimens. Scientific identification is included on the reverse of the frame.

Keep out of direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
