Today the rather impressive insect you see below crossed my father's path while he was working in his little bee house. He sent me some photos (besides the insect itself I think the shadows on the floor are really fascinating) and asked me what it could be? Now he knows the answer - do you know it as well? To make this quiz somewhat more exciting, I will send 5 SBD to the first person who can give me the full scientific name of this creature. Good luck! :) |
Meinem Vater lief heute in seinem kleinen Bienenhäuschen das unten zu sehende, ziemlich beeindruckende Insekt über den Weg (faszinierend finde ich übrigens auch die Schatten, die es wirft). Er schickte mir einige Fotos und fragte mich, was das wohl wäre. Er weiß es jetzt - wisst ihr es auch? Um es etwas spannender zu machen, erhält derjenige, der mir zuerst den kompletten wissenschaftlichen Namen dieser Kreatur nennt, 5 SBD. Viel Glück! :) |

Then in India there may be similar but not this exact species. Every species has only one single scientific name. Prionus coriarius is not distributed in India.

Did you like the contest?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Very much! I knew it was a longhorn beetle, but I didn't know the Latin name. Would the contests be restricted to what happens to wander/fly into your father's garden?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Not necessarily. However on the one hand these contests shouldn't be toooo easy, but on the other hand it must be finally clear which insect it is. In many cases it is nearly not possible to decide which exact species it is by only watching a photo (often there are many very similar species).
