Bornean Flat Stag Beetle
A medium-sized, very flat stag beetle with a glossy dark reddish-brown body perfectly adapted for living in thin spaces under bark. The mandibles are short but wide and strongly toothed.
Did You Know?
Its body is so flat that it can fit into gaps as thin as a few millimeters, making it nearly impossible for predators to extract.
High-altitude Longhorn Beetle
A flower-visiting longhorn beetle of boreal and montane conifer forests. Its larvae develop in decaying conifer wood at high elevations.
Did You Know?
Adults are important pollinators of alpine wildflowers.
