Prosopocoilus Giraffa

Really long and strong insect

Just like its scientific name, its like a giraffe because of the long body it has.

This type can get from 3cm to 12!! But the female ones are just from 3 to 6cm long.

Their larva has to take 1 to 2 years to turn into the beetle, and from the stage of the larva it is extra long compared to other typr of beetle!

A lot of people have these giraffe beetles as pets. If you are consider to buy one of these, you can take a look at this page:
