This item will provide you with 1x larva of Prosopocoilus giraffa keisuke.

Prosopocoilus giraffa keisuke originates from Flores island, Indonesia. It is famously known as the world's longest stag beetle, with the maximum length of 120mm. The males have very long, toothed mandibles that protrude about half the size of their body. These formidable features enable them to be highly competitive during mating season, with males fighting each other using their mandibles to lift and throw rivals to secure a mate. Overall, Prosopocoilus giraffa keisuke is a powerful and striking species of beetle, with a fascinating array of physical attributes and behaviors that have captured the interest of many.

 

Primarily feeds on rotten hardwood or flake soil.

Beetle larvae go through 3 different larval phases: L1, L2, and L3. After the L3 stage, the larva pupates to turn into an adult beetle!
