VELVET LONGHORN BEETLE (SB-10)

Uganda

11x14 inches

 

One of the largest of the very unique African longhorn beetles, Petrognatha gigas has several bizarre features that set it apart.

The ridiculously elongated antennae of the males closely resemble delicate , dried bones while the elytra appears to be comprised of deep, crushed velvet.

Elegantly designer-friendly hues complete the trifecta of intrigue masking the ferocious temperament of yet another fascinating beetle.
