HQRP-Crystal Spotted Lanternfly Resin Specimen 72mm Clear Lucite Block — Real Insect for Biology Display & Classroom Study

This HQRP-Crystal specimen encases a real Spotted Lanternfly (open wings) in a transparent lucite resin rectangle sized approximately 72mm x 40mm x 24mm. The block is lightweight and durable, designed to let light and magnification reveal anatomical details while protecting the insect from damage. Each piece is individually cast, so slight internal variations, tiny bubbles, or surface differences are normal and part of its natural character.

How will this preserved insect help in a study or classroom setting?

The resin block provides a stable, reusable reference specimen for biology lessons, entomology demonstrations, or student projects. Because the insect is permanently immobilized in clear material, learners can examine wings, body segmentation, and coloration without handling fragile parts.

• Actual insect preserved in resin for accurate visual reference
• Transparent lucite allows light transmission for microscopy or magnified observation
• Durable, shatter-resistant format made for repeated classroom use
• Compact size fits lab benches, microscopes, and display shelves

What are the physical details and care tips for the resin specimen?

The block measures about 72mm x 40mm x 24mm and weighs roughly 80g (2.8oz). It resists fading and is robust, but should be handled gently to avoid scratches; avoid high heat, harsh solvents, or dropping it onto hard surfaces.

• Storage: keep away from direct sun and extreme temperatures to preserve clarity

Can this specimen be used for display and creative projects?

Yes — it doubles as an educational tool and an attractive desk or shelf accent for natural-history collections, craft presentations, and themed décor. Its clear edges and visible insect structure make it a conversation starter in a home office, study, or museum vignette.

• Ideal for desk displays, museum cases, and educational cabinets
• Works well in photography or close-up product shots under controlled lighting
• Pairs with other specimens for comparative study or curated collections
