Xylocopa Latipes Genuine Bee Framed Specimen

Most insects have the decency to avoid eye contact. Xylocopa latipes does not. The Giant Tropical Carpenter Bee, one of the largest bees on the planet, is known for a territorial staring behaviour where males will hover directly in front of a person and just, watch. Follow. Assess. It is a deeply unnerving habit from a creature the size of a small plum, and honestly, that is exactly why it belongs on your wall.

Carpenter bees of this species are native to Southeast Asia and carry that particular combination of iridescent black and quiet menace that makes them a perfect fit alongside your horror memorabilia, gothic art prints, and whatever else lives in the darker corners of your home. Collectors of natural curiosities, taxidermy enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever felt a kinship with the creature that refuses to look away first will understand immediately.

Genuine Xylocopa latipes specimen, professionally set and framed under glass in a black display frame. Each piece is unique. Ethically sourced. Not a reproduction.
