Tiger Hornet, Vespa tropica (spread), Real Wasp, Greater banded hornet, Real Specimen, Entomology

Vespa tropica, the greater banded hornet, is a tropical species of hornet found in Southern Asia, New Guinea and west Africa. The greater banded hornet has a distinct, bright yellow band around its abdomen.

Most, if not all insects are hand raised or from sustainable and ethical sources such as insect farms and aviaries. People in third-world countries are able to plant mass crops that are more sustainable and profitable than the natural land. They are given the motivation to maintain insect populations and their habitats. A purchase from my shop helps fight extinction and the destruction of habitats worldwide. We do not stock or encourage the collection of endangered/threatened species. I do my best to purchase my insects from responsible sources, so when you purchase an insect from me, you are also helping to promote insect and native forest conservation!!! :)

I am a LICENSED IMPORTER all specimens I carry are NOT endangered AND are absolutely legal to own. For more information please head to my shop FAQ's! :)
