Goliathus Orientalis on ostrich egg

Goliathus Orientalis under mini glass dome. Described for the first time in 1801 by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (a french naturalist), Goliathus is an African species which can reach up to ten centimeters long and weigh up to 100g, what makes the show of their first flight at the begining of the raining season when they crowl out of the ground, very impressive. The Y-shaped black horn of the males is used as a lever, fighting during reproductive period or just defending a sweet fruit. A perfect lining in black and white.
This specimen is a large male coming from Dem. Rep. of Congoi, and the ostrich egg comes from a farm in France.
