Its body is relatively robust, measuring around 20-30 mm in length. The beetle’s head and thorax are dark brown or black, with yellowish, irregular spots scattered across the elytra (wing covers). The elytra are clear and feature delicate, translucent wings that are used for flight. The legs are long and slender, and its antennae are typically twice the length of its body.\nThis species is primarily found in Central and South America, with a distribution ranging from Mexico to parts of Colombia and Ecuador. The name Sternotomis comes from Greek, with \"sterno\" meaning “chest” and \"tomo\" meaning “cut,” referring to the shape of the thorax. Flavomaculata is derived from Latin, meaning \"yellow-spotted.\" A curiosity about this beetle is its role in pollination, despite being a wood-boring insect.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support sustainable tropical fauna 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.
