Neocerambyx gigas
on the window nets.
thanks Carol, it was around 5-6 cm. body shape was very slender. I was used to seeing big fat bulky beetles... this was rare for me..
Thank you Martini for the ID and the info... I shall be careful. I won't want my fingers between those pincers made to chew through tough woods. :)
Thank you atul. :)
What a beauty. That is the catch of the day. These longicorn beetles larvae are grubs inside live trees. They have powerful pinchers for chewing through wood, so watch your fingers.
Lat: 14.97, Long: 75.04
