Thank you Fyn Kynd for nominating this Giant Long Horn Beetle as the Spotting of the Week! I really get encouraged to go for more creations of the nature, photograph and share with all! Thanks once again.

Awesome macro....

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

Thanks bayucca for all the effort and your precious time. Under Cerambycidae Catalog Search the title lists B. horsfield, but samples vary. One particular sample labled as B. adelphi matches very well, because besides others its horns are only as long as the body.

My closest guess wouldbe Batocera horsfieldi. But I am still not really happy with your 80 mm!

Rufomaculata is up to 60 mm, so still too small for yours...

Thanks Chamalka for liking it.

Thanks Dilan for the comment.
