With a glossy black exoskeleton and formidable mandibles, it can reach lengths of up to 2 inches. Distributed across North America, particularly in hardwood forests, this species thrives in decaying wood. Its name pays homage to the French entomologist Baron Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Dechauffour de Boisduval. Intriguingly, giant bess beetles are exceptional parents, with females tending to eggs and larvae. Their unique stridulation, a squeaking sound produced by rubbing body parts, adds to the allure of these colossal beetles in the insect world.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of the conservation of the rainforest where they fly and the development of responsible conscious trading.\nThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease take into consideration that the specimen that you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
