METALLIC WOOD-BORING BEETLE - MEGALOXANTHA BICOLOR

THE SCIENCE:

Megaloxantha bicolor is a species of large, metallic, wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. Members of this species can reach up to about 3 inches in length. Members of this species are usually a metallic green, but may also be blue, red, and/or black with two large, yellow or whitish patches on the lower half. The species can be found throughout much of Southeast Asia, and Australia.

THE STORY:

This is one of our most striking species of jewel beetle; grab one before they’re all gone! Our all-natural, intact specimens (no fake parts here!) are all of first-rate quality, delicately prepared, mounted, and framed with double-glass glazing in our very own fabrication studio in Upstate New York. We model our frames from solid fine ashwood, and they’re available in both a matte-black, and a natural finish.

Our framed insects are made-to-order. Please allow up to two weeks for your order to be completed. If you need your order sooner than this, please contact us at 212-343-1114 x401 or fabrication@theevolutionstore.com and we will do our best to accommodate you!
