Ratmosphere Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Cool vid! The size of these always impressed me. Probably look like birds when they take off flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Mexico a while back and only saw some dead Megasoma specimens at the nature center museum area. Saw a boatload of iguanas though.

What was the reasoning behind giving Megasoma actaeon johannae (M. rex) species status? It seems to me, that rex is indeed a ssp. (or just a morphological variant) of actaeon.

Just a tiny structural difference in one of the tarsal segments? By that logic, people with different hair and eye colors could be classified as different species!
