Lucanus Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 Wow! Impressive! Species is Chalcosoma chiron (caucasus) Quote
Mashku Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 Yes its a Chalcosoma caucasus, you can ID it on the smal denticle on the cephalic horn. C. atlas has none and C. moellenkampi has more smaller more closely thorax horns. WIKI says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalcosoma_moellenkampi Quote
