Pinning a rhinoceros beetle

Please tell me it was dead before you started ...

no

Pinning a rhinoceros beetle (or any large beetle) for display or scientific purposes requires careful preparation.

Takes lot of time

how is this preserved like this?

What's next, teaching it to tap dance? Sounds like one talented beetle!

Should have used more pins

Fascinating! The details in these beetles are incredible.

So….when does the ref do the three count?

Is this real and irresistible?
