Scarabaeoidea, also known as the superfamily of beetles, encompasses a diverse range of fascinating species. From the vibrant Bee beetle (Trichius fasciatus) gracefully perched on flowers to the majestic Stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) engaging in fierce battles atop oak tree branches in Germany, these creatures never fail to captivate our attention. Venturing further east, we encounter the Japanese Rhinoceros beetle (Allomyrina dichotoma dichotoma), proudly displaying its impressive size and distinctive horn-like appendages in Guangshui, Hubei province, China. Meanwhile, the Golden green stag beetle (Lamprima sp. ) flaunts its adult male stature adorned with magnificent mandibles that gleam under sunlight. Across oceans and continents lies the Glorious scarab (Chrysina gloriosa), elegantly soaring through Brewster County's skies in Texas, USA. However, this mesmerizing sight is observed under controlled conditions for scientific study purposes. Similarly controlled conditions reveal a silhouette of a Stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) against a leaf backdrop—a moment frozen in time to appreciate nature's artistry. The Atlas beetle / Three-horned rhinoceros beetle male (Chalcosoma sp. ) showcases its remarkable physique while resting on an unknown surface—an emblematic representation of strength and resilience within their habitat. On another note, we find the Cockchafer beetle (Melolontha melolontha) delicately positioned upon a lichen-encrusted twig during May in France—a testament to nature's intricate symbiotic relationships. Italy welcomes us with open arms as an adult male Stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) takes center stage on an oak tree—its presence commanding respect amidst lush surroundings.
