Description
8 Red velvet goliath scarab beetles cluster on the orange and white blooms and green sheathes of the bird of paradise plant (Strelitzia) in this tropical jungle nature mandala.The family of scarab beetles, Scarabaeidae, has over 30,000 species worldwide. Like all insects, members of this family have three body sections: a head, thorax, and abdomen. Their muted or iridescent colored bodies are robust, domed, and ovoid in shape and can grow in some species like the Goliath beetle to length of 6 inches. Many scarabs have elaborate medieval-looking head gear of pointed sword-like single horns or curved saber shaped antlers either single, forked or branching with many having small spikes and serrated edges.
