Large, yellow, very impressive jungle beetle
The beast was huge – like a small cell phone. Brilliant yellow with prominent eye spots on the thorax. See picture. It landed on a friend and he now suffers from Post Traumatic Stress. Hope you can help and thanks if you do.
P.S. The specimen shed coloration from its wings when touched.

Giant Metallic Ceiba Borer
Hi N.R.,
This is a most stunning photograph of a Giant Metallic Ceiba Borer, Euchroma gigantea, a species that is found in Central and South America.
I like This
Hi NR. I would love to use this image in my book on world insects. I would need your copyright name to include. My publishers do not pay for images, so I can only offer the small fame of published image and very big thanks from me.
