Real 5 Horned Beetle/Eupatorus Gracilicornis Flying Form Taxidermy in Transparent Box Display (Black Wooden Box)

This beetle is absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier! I was concerned due to other reviews that it would be extremely malodorous, but that isn't the case. It does smell of preservatives but not so strongly as to offend. Can't wait to receive the other creatures I've ordered from this distributor.

Made a great gift!

Anyone who's dealing with the horrid moth ball smell, simply seal the entire box (front&back) using Mod Podge. I added a few coats. Also, seal the black strip on the see through plastic. Worked wonderful. Zero smell.

EVERYTHING I WANTED. Just like it was pictured. Barely and odor, but the odor isn’t even gross. Highly recommend. This is the start to my collection and I am so very excited.

This is literally a balsa wood box with a small pane of glass. It came with no kind of sealant around the glass, which fell out into my hands, and due to the porous nature of the wood and the unsealed glass the entire box REEKS of formaldehyde. The smell is strong enough to fill my living room. Beautiful insect, poor execution.

The first one I received was in a bunch of pieces, but they quickly got a replacement sent out. It got here in plenty of time for Christmas & it's stunningly beautiful.

This big guy was handled with great care and his display is awesome! My daughter just got her degree in Wildlife biology and this is perfect for her! Do handle with care as these are somewhat fragile but the display and box are perfect! Will purchase more of these soon! Thank you!!

Yes, the beetle was slightly damaged upon arrival as shown in the photos, but honestly that’s a risk us as consumer are willing to take when we buy these online. Obviously these packages go through a lot before they reach us and I’m impressed that it wasn’t more damaged considering it’s an extremely fragile item. Packaged very well. Will be buying more specimens from this company!
