Hemipepsis is a genus of large pepsine spider wasps found throughout the tropics. They are commonly known as tarantula hawks. Hemipepsis wasps are morphologically similar to the related genera Pepsis and Entypus, but distinguishable by the pattern of wing venation. In South Africa 18 plant species from three plant families, the Apocynaceae, Orchidaceae, and Asparagaceae subfamily Scilloideae are pollinated exclusively by Hemipepsis wasps. * * * Only One What You See Is What You Get ! ~ Species: Hemipepsis glabrata * Rare ~ Native Origin: Zimbabwe ~ Quality: A1; Wingspan measures 76 mm ! ! ! ~ Frame Details: 7 H x 5” W x 1” D * * * White frame available by request. + Museum quality shadowbox with glass window.
