An amazing beetle in an amazing frame! An eyecatching display featuring one of the weirdest beetles around...These huge beetles hang out in the jungles of Africa, gripping the branches of Acacia tightly and blending in to their surroundings with a cryptic pattern.  They perhaps look like lichen or moss to escape detection, or even bird droppings in the right light!  The antennae look remarkably twiglike, and if the disguise doesn't work,  they have a nasty pair of mandibles ready to defend themselves.   [only one display]
