Title:
Tarantula Hawk Wasp
Description:
Tarantula Hawk Wasp – 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver Round | Silver Bug Series
Beautiful… and brutal. This 39mm silver round showcases Pepsis grossa, the Tarantula Hawk Wasp—an elegant assassin with a reputation that precedes its sting.
With shimmering wings and elongated limbs, this apex insect is a nightmare to spiders and a legend among entomologists. Its sting is considered one of the most painful in the animal kingdom—fortunately, short-lived. It hunts tarantulas with surgical precision, paralyzing them before laying a single egg. The larva feasts from the inside out.
A marvel of evolutionary power wrapped in sleek design, the Tarantula Hawk Wasp is an icon of survival, fear, and fearlessness.
On the reverse: the Bug Series’ heraldic emblem—crowned, winged, and framed in honor. A fitting tribute for this silver-cast predator.

– Composition: .999 Fine Silver
– Weight: 1 Troy Ounce
– Diameter: 39mm
– Series: Bug Series
