K69b # This display is beautiful! It is inside a removable glass dome with a natural wood base and includes part of a real wasp nest on and around the nest are 5 real preserved wasps, a lady bug and a snail. The nest is surrounded by preserved flowers, fern, moss, and other natural elements. This is something everyone will enjoy! Great addition to any collection and measures approximately 6 1/2" x 4 1/2"
Species : Polistes gallicus
Paper wasps are vespid wasps that gather fibers from dead wood and plant stems, which they mix with saliva, and use to construct nests made of gray or brown papery material. Some types of paper wasps are also sometimes called umbrella wasps, due to the distinctive design of their nests. (credit to Wikipedia)
If you are purchasing one of my Victorian displays and are familiar with Antique Victorian displays, you are aware of that they have usually fallen into disarray and disintegrated to the point that they no longer show well. My displays mimic the antique look without everything being washed out and tattered due to extreme age. I keep my displays as economical as possible enabling me to make them a lot more affordable than the true antiques. Every display shows well and is sure to be noticed and commented on! All my displays are hand crafted using only the highest quality of items available and as many natural pieces as possible. Much time and thought are invested into each ONE OF A KIND DISPLAY (unless otherwise noted) as to bring life to the natural beauty of each animal so they may be enjoyed for years to come. Each display is decorated specifically to enhance the beauty of the animal/insect showcased as well as show each in a natural setting. These displays will fascinate as well as inspire wonder in all who view!
