A The Water Scorpion in a handmade wooden baroque style frame. The specimens are mounted on high quality acid free black conservation board with a black mount and striking white edge, all rounded off with baroque style corner protectors.

The Water Scorpion is from the family of Nepidae. Respiration in the adult is effected by means of the caudal process, which consists of a pair of half-tubes capable of being locked together to form a siphon by means of which air is conducted to the tracheae at the apex of the abdomen when the tip of the tube is thrust above the surface of the water.

It can reach 7.6-10.2 cm.
