Macrodontia cervicornis: Sabertooth longhorn beetle - Size: 6.7 inches long. The Sabertooth longhorn beetle, is a large and striking beetle with a fearsome appearance due to its long, powerful mandibles, particularly prominent in males. These beetles are native to South America's rainforests and are among the largest in the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). The larval stage can last for up to ten years, while the adult stage is relatively short, only a few months, during which they reproduce. Larvae feed on dead or decaying wood, while adults feed on tree sap, leaves, and flowers. They are considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and deforestation. Are you concerned about habitat loss due to deforestation?
