Beautiful shots MokYounFai! If the two images were taken at different locations and times, they constitute two different observations and should be separated in two spottings.
Great shots. Yes that side view is important. Thanks.
HI Bayucca.. added a side view as your wish :)
Both photos are the same species but taken different time and different location (within Singapore)
Dou you have other pictures of it?With only a frontal, although a very nice and impressive one, we cannot ID a beetle. We would ne at least a complete shot from the top and from the side if available.
Wow...just wow. This is terrific photography!
