A unique opportunity to display a  stunning example of a Tarantula Hawk Wasp (Pepsis sp.) and Tarantula (Acanthoscurria juruenicola) prey together. 

Tarantula hawk wasps hunt for Tarantulas, paralising them with a powerful sting, then buryibg them alive with a single egg, from which the wasp larva hatched and devours the tarantula. Both are from the same area in Peru.

These are great sized examples, the wingspan of the wasp is over 75mm, tarantula legspan 5-6" 

Outer frame dimensions 10.5" square
