Borneo Three-horned Beetle
Among the longest beetles in Asia, with three powerful horns and a metallic green-black sheen. Males engage in fierce combat.
Did You Know?
Their smooth, metallic exoskeleton makes them very difficult for predators to grip.
Delta Dung Beetle
A matte black roller dung beetle with a rounded body and distinctively flattened outer edges of the elytra. It rolls dung balls along the forest floor in tropical forests. The species shows strong nocturnal activity.
Did You Know?
Unlike most rollers, some Deltochilum species have lost the ability to fly and are entirely ground-dwelling.
