The listing is for 1x adult beetle, of a RARE species of Rhinoceros Beetle native to the Honduras. This is a smaller relative of the gigantic Hercules Beetle, and is characterised by an iridescent thorax and wings that are a deep yellow and spotted, resembling a ripe banana.
Like many members of the rhino & stag beetle families, males sport impressive horns used in wrestling matches with rivals, whereas females are hornless.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from the Honduras, North America.
The adult beetles feed on a variety of fruits such as banana, apple, pear, peach and watermelon. The larvae feed on decaying wood and leaf litter.
