[rock_lobster]

Does anyone here know if these are true purple hornets?

if i remember correct the alternating skirt color shows that its true one.

Thats what I thought too. It looks it to me because the skirt alternates green and purple.

Those look like legit ones.

here are mine for a comparison:

They look real but the ring in the center should be the same as the alternating skirt, yours look a bit off there, also the green ring around the skirt is not usually present on real ones. Mr Haha's are real note the skirt color matches the ring around the mouth and the lashes on the skirts are a solid color(no green stripe around the lashes)

Here are mine. Note the solid lashes, and matching ring around the mouth

Then again it could be just the picture or camera, who did they come from?

that could just be caused by lighting and camera settings couldn't it?

These are some purple hornets I saw offered online by a guy for 50 bucks a polyp he said they were hitchhikers on a rock that had grown out to 30 polyps just wondering what you guys thought. I have my own hornets that I posted in the for sale section that are not these, I was just curious if these are real.
