Chalcosoma Engganensis
''Chalcosoma engganensis'' is a large (35–60 mm) and heavy beetle. The body is shiny black. The male has a sharp horn (directed obliquely upward and forward) on the head. On each side of pronotum there are curved, forward directed horns. Across the head there is a short but powerful spike. This species differs from the normally developed specimens of the other ''Chalcosoma'' species in that horns are shorter, male can look a lot like small copies of ''Chalcosoma moellenkampi The Moellenkampi beetle (''Chalcosoma moellenkampi''), is one of four large species of rhinoceros beetles from Southeast Asia belonging to the genus ''Chalcosoma''.

Chalcosoma Moellenkampi
The Moellenkampi beetle (''Chalcosoma moellenkampi''), is one of four large species of rhinoceros beetles from Southeast Asia belonging to the genus ''Chalcosoma''. The Moellenkampi beetles belong to the beetle family Scarabaeidae along with other rhinoceros beetles. They are characterized by having two large, forward-projecting horns on the pronotum or thorax, and another large, forward and upward-projecting horn on the head. They also have a distinct metallic lustre, which is the reason behind their genus name, which derives from Greek, ', and is the combining form of ', meaning copper. Distribution Unlike its close relatives, ''C. atlas'', ''C. chiron'', and ''C. engganensis'', ''C. moellenkampi'' has a rather restricted geographic distribution and appears to occur only on Borneo. Description ''Chalcosoma moellenkampi'' can reach about the same size as ''C. atlas'', and males may measure up to from the tip of the head horn to the end of the elytra (wingcases). The largest sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Beetles Of Asia
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly hard exos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
