Paleovespa menatensis Pupa
Paleovespa menatensis (pupa)
The pupa remained protected within a nest cell while its body was reorganized into the adult form. It did not feed or actively hunt during this stage, relying on reserves gathered as a larva. Its hardened outer casing provided its main defense against disturbance and small predators.
