Sculpting Asian Giant Hornet_Vespa mandarinia_Polymer Clay_Making Insect Wings_@LifeofClay

The #asiangianthornet (#vespamandarinia), including the color form referred to as the Japanese giant hornet, is the world's largest hornet. The media nicknamed them as "#murderhornet", a species in the genus #vespa, which comprises all true hornets. They are native to temperate and tropical East Asia, South Asia, Mainland Southeast Asia, and parts of the Russian Far East. And found in the Pacific Northwest of North America in the late 2019. They prefer to live in low mountains and forests, while almost completely avoiding plains and high-altitude climates. They create nest by digging, co-opting pre-existing tunnels dug by rodents, or occupying spaces near rotted pine roots. They feed primarily on larger insects, colonies of other eusocial insects, tree sap, and honey from honey bee colonies and even to their own kind. They have the body length of (1&3⁄4 inches), a wingspan around (3 in), and a stinger (1⁄4 in) long, which injects a large amount of potent venom. Fearless nature’s killing machine, what an interesting subject to sculpt with. Please consider SUBSCRIBING and TURN ON that NOTIFICATION BELL ICON so you may notify whenever a NEW VIDEO is up.
