HUGE example [almost 5 inches! or 130mm] of a male Longhon Beetle found in the Amazon rainforest....this is an incredible example of the species, with superb coloration of yellows, reds, and browns. Just look at those mandibles! Macrodontia means "giant tooth", and you can see this guy earns his name! They are not predators, but suprisingly just suck on tree sap! The larvae of this beetle feed on decaying wood and have been considered a delicacy for hundreds of years!!! These beetles are considered one of the largest species in the world, with lengths reaching 17 cm!
