Sphaenognathus love decor and the wings display strikingSphaenognathus is a genus of striking stag beetles found in South America, especially in the Andean regions of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. These beetles are known for their elongated, metallic colored bodies that can shimmer in green, blue, or purple hues. Males have large, curved mandibles used for combat, while females are smaller and lack the exaggerated jaws. The larvae develop in decaying wood, contributing to forest nutrient cycling. Collectors
