This frame, containing male Rhino Beetles has been handcrafted and mounted in a deep box frame with fixtures for easy wall hanging.
This Five Horned Rhinoceros Beetle (Eupatorus gracilicornis) (Family: Scarabaeidae) pair has been hand set by our expert entomologists in our studio and elegantly mounted in a museum quality deep box frame.
Within many species, members of the same sex (usually males) compete against each other for reproductive access to members of the opposite sex. Natural selection often favours the adaption of larger size, strength and weaponry in the competing sex, as reproductive fitness is dependant on an individuals ability to outcompete rivals in direct encounters. The enlarged ornamental horns of male Rhino Beetles are an excellent example of how selection pressures can result in incredibly diverse and highly specialised features.
The frame is made from premium quality, satin finished acrylic, with a museum grade 99% UV blocking conservation glass aperture. Each specimen is mounted on a 300 GSM acid free card stock which includes both the scientific and common name of the insect printed below. The frame can either be self standing or mounted using the invisible wall hanging bracket.
