Pu fork deep mountain spade armor
Lucanus Planets
It belongs to the arthropods, insects, coleoptera, spade family, and spade nails. It inhabits areas with lush vegetation at higher temperatures and humidity. It is mainly distributed in Yunnan and Guangxi, and the photo is taken in The Dawei Mountain on the edge of the screen.
As a large species in the family Spadeidae, male adult adults of the Spade beetle can reach a maximum length of about 9 cm, their body color is a dark reddish-brown color, glowing purple in the sun, the head, thorax and abdomen Elytra are covered with dense golden villi, and the three pairs of walking feet have yellow oval markings near the thoracic joint.
The pucha deep mountain spade armor and the common spade armor are similar in appearance, but the difference is that the upper jaw of the male of the pucha deep mountain spade beetle is more slender, and the upper jaw is regularly arranged with small spikes, and at the same time, a "Y" shaped "horn" grows in the middle of the head to the upper jaw, like the horns of various hooded insects under the subfamily rhinoceros turtle, another kind of fighting master rhinoceros turtle, but the "horns" of the pucha deep mountain spade are relatively narrow and cannot be compared with the horns of the hooded insects.
As well-known fighting insects, male species in the spade family are natural gladiators, and the wild is often fought over mates, territory and food. However, there is a certain distinction between the degree of ferocity in the duel process. It is known that the length of the upper jaw of male spade armor is divided into three forms: large, medium and small, but in fighting, the smaller the upper jaw, the more lethal it is, and the larger and longer the upper jaw, the lethality is relatively weakened.
Like the Chinese spade armor introduced in the previous issue, the upper jaw is short and small, like a destruction tong, and even the head of the same kind can be bitten off during the fight. Some species of the genus Macropensylum have medium-sized jaws and thick jaws, and larger ones can clip pencils. The upper jaw of the fork deep mountain spade armor introduced in this issue may not be as long as the first two in terms of the strength and destructive power of the fight, but it is more ornamental, when the two male fork deep mountain shovel armor fights, the strong one will only lift the weaker opponent high and throw it away from the mate, territory, and food. And the losing side will not be seriously hurt, it can be said that it is very martial.
