“Keeper of the Web” – Xylocopa latipes (23x18 cm)

A guardian of stillness, suspended in a moment between decay and grace. This larger framed piece features a striking Xylocopa latipes—the giant carpenter bee—resting at the center of a real preserved spiderweb. The web shimmers faintly beneath soft light, a delicate backdrop that speaks to the quiet resilience of nature’s architects.

Framed in matte black wood, the piece is grounded by dried rosebuds nestled in each bottom corner, evoking an altar to time, transformation, and memory. The combination of wing, web, and wilted bloom creates a moody, gothic tribute to the fragile beauty found in forgotten corners of the world.

• Ethically sourced Xylocopa latipes specimen
• Real preserved spiderweb background
• Dried rosebuds in both lower corners
• Handcrafted in a black wooden frame
• Ready to hang or display

A timeless relic for those who find magic in the still and the strange.

Attention: Since the animals were once living beings, minor quirks (such as flight tracks, broken antennae, chips in the bones/frameparts or other imperfections) are natural. These cannot be complained about. Please refer to the attached pictures and/or videos for the condition of the product.
