2 giraffe weevils standing on a pigeon's egg
PU995-6
This improbable stacking is not very large, but safely sheltered in this bevelled glasses box. This small white egg is that of a white peacock pigeon. He who can make the wheel by spreading the feathers of his tail . But two small bright red insects had to make a long way to get there: these two giraffe weevils live only in Madagascar. These two males Trachelophorus giraffa have a long neck with only one joint, which they use only to fight for a female. But it is also possible to observe them more closely since by opening the door, the egg will follow, as on a plateau. An ingenious display: both protected in its glass cage, and visible without a filter. A confrontation at the top, but very delicate!
