Lamprima Adolphinae

Lamprima Adolphinae is a species of stag beetle that is native from West Papua in Indonesia. Lamprima Adolphinae ranges greatly in color and individuals can sport green, gold, brown, and blue coloration. Despite their ‘menacing’ appearance Lamprima Adolphinae are not carnivorous and feed mostly on tree sap and rotting fruits. Male Lamprima Adolphinae sport two large mandibles which are used for fighting other males. These fights will usually be over mating rights but may also be over food.
