Paleovespa menatensis Larva
Paleovespa menatensis (larva)
This larval wasp likely lived in a sheltered nest cell in the warm forests surrounding Paleocene Menat. It would have fed on soft-bodied insects or prey provisions supplied by adults, using strong chewing jaws. Unlike the winged adult, it was a slow, grub-like stage devoted almost entirely to feeding and growth.
