This stag beetle is characterized by its sharp morus alba

 

The name is Prosopocoilus giraffa

 

Since it is the longest stag beetle, it has the name of a long-necked giraffe called “Girafa”.

male:35~121mm

female:31~56mm

 

It’s a cute palm-sized stag beetle. (´Д `) Uh, yeah

The male will be quite large.

 

The scissors aren’t that strong, but the jaws are very strong and have the power to cut through the beetle’s horns.
