Insect Badge Macrodontia cervicornis “Long-toothed Longhorn”

Macrodontia cervicornis
(also known as Long-toothed Longhorn), the largest species in the genus and the second largest Longhorn in the world. The males have teeth of different lengths. Generally, the larger the individual is, the longer their teeth are (basically can reach or exceed 50 mm). This special tooth shape is likely to be used by males to compete for territory and mate. The females are generally short-toothed, and the yellow coleoptera is covered with delicate and complex black stripes. These stripes combine like totems.

The male body length is more than 80-170mm (at present, the maximum ruler is about 173-178mm), and the female body length is about 60-140mm.

Main distribution: Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Guyana, Brazil, French Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela and other places.

The long-toothed longicorn has a flat body and is a strange beetle with a wild totem on its back. They are orange in color and have strange black stripes. They look a little Indian, so they are also called "Indian Shield". The male long-toothed longicorn has huge teeth, up to 5 cm in length, so it is named Macrontonia, meaning "big teeth". But its antennae are relatively shorter than other longicorn, less than half of its body length.

This longicorn beetle is very large, with the largest individual length of 17.8 cm, and is the longest beetle in the world. It is currently listed in the red list of threatened species by the International Union for the Conservation of Natural Resources (IUCN).
