A wholesale lot of 25 A1-quality spread specimens of the Paper Wasp (Polistes tenebricosus), presented wings-open in classic entomological style. Polistes tenebricosus is a striking, slender-waisted social wasp found across South and South-East Asia, notable for its rich amber and dark brown patterning and elongated form — visually dramatic both as a scientific reference specimen and as display art.
Each specimen is spread and dried to A1 standard, with wings fully extended and symmetrically set, ready for pinning, framing, or direct display. Ideal for bulk framing projects, entomology collections, scientific study, and natural history artwork.
A cost-effective option for artists, framers, educators, and collectors needing consistent, high-grade material in quantity.

I’ve probably ordered jewel beetle elytra from at least 15 different companies by now so when it comes to quality elytra I know my stuff and the quality that I just received from ArtButterflies is truly excellent. I would say that the average size from the 1,000 elytra package that I received is slightly larger than average, it’s a good mix of sizes. The shipping was also prompt considering that they are located in the UK and I live in Michigan. It took exactly 10 days to receive my order. If I ever need more jewel beetle elytra I will definitely buy from ArtButterflies again. Thank you!
Beautiful, and cute. Was packaged well!
I was kinda bummed out that I got all beetles instead of the mixed specimens I ordered so I messaged the seller and they are making it right. Ill definitely be coming back to this seller in the near future 😁
Great specimens as always!!! My favorite local supplier
Beautiful piece!

Great specimen but looks like some weighted object was used to flatten the centipede prior to drying, would like to see a thicker specimen hitting the shelves guys

Amazing seller great packaging! Would definitely do business again.
Specimens arrived in good condition and quickly
I've ordered from this company many times, always great communication and quality. This time there was an issue with the package being opened and tampered with while in transit (no fault to the shop). Joseph quickly made things right and offered to re-ship the missing items.
