Xylocopa Duo

This pair of Xylocopa, impressive carpenter bees, consists of a Xylocopa pubescens and a Xylocopa caerulea, a hymenopteran of striking blue. Their robust, velvety bodies contrast with the delicacy of their wings. As major pollinators, they play a vital role in tropical and Mediterranean ecosystems. Xylocopa evoke quiet strength, patient work, and the importance of nature's invisible builders.

Presented in a hermetically sealed glass-fronted box, they are enhanced by a white frame on a white background. Each specimen is carefully identified by a calligraphed label, indicating its Latin name and origin. A brass plaque engraved with the name Deyrolle certifies the authenticity of this unique piece, from our collections.
