Add a striking piece to your collection with this Giant Scarab Beetle (Goliathus orientalis) native to Africa. This sustainably sourced specimen features bold black-and-white marbled patterns and is mounted on an intricate gold filigree base against a rich, deep red velvet background. The display is completed by a detailed gold and black frame that includes both an easel back and a hanging hook. Because the specimen is naturally very lightweight despite its large size, it is incredibly easy to mount securely or place on any shelf.
Fun Facts: While they are incredibly strong as adults—capable of lifting massive amounts of weight—their life cycle is a bit upside down. As underground larvae, they eat a protein-heavy diet and grow into massive grubs that actually weigh about twice as much as they do when they later transform into their final, winged adult form.
Please note: This piece features an upcycled, thrifted frame. Minor imperfections on the frame or glass may be present due to age and character. All pieces are carefully cleaned and repaired while preserving their vintage character.
