A glass frame with 3 different species of Mormolyce insects.

Mormolyce castelnaudi, Mormolyce hagenbachi and Mormolyce phyllodes. Due their peculiar shape they are known as Violin insects. They all came from Malaysia, where they live in rain forest.

Both adults and larvae are predators, feeding on insect larvae. For defense purposes, they secrete the poisonous butyric acid the eject and cause paralysis, even in humans.

Delicate and beautiful, this glass vitrine showcases an exquisite collection of Pyrops specimens from the Fulgoridae family, closely related to Cicadas. These insects are unique, each featuring a long cephalic extension used to pierce the fruits they feed on.

Showcasing two exquisite Cerambycidae beetle species from Thailand, this display captures the beauty and rarity of Pavieia superba and Xystrocera festiva. Pavieia superba is distinguished by its striking red bands, with the male featuring long, impressive horns, while the female has shorter ones. Similarly, Xystrocera festiva displays the same sexual dimorphism, with the male possessing extended horns compared to the female. These beetles are rarely seen in such exceptional quality, making this piece a true collector’s item and a fascinating addition to any entomology display.

Cyriopagopus minax known as Thailand black is a medium sized Tarantula.

It is a very fast and aggressive spider, and females are bigger and more dangerous! Even during mating, males are too afraid to simply approach a female and mate with her. Males take it pretty slow, attempting to distract the female with large slapping action from their front pair of legs.

They live in Thailand and Myanmar.

Heterometrus laoticus - Vietnam Forest Scorpion is a scorpion species found in peaty areas of Vietnam and Laos. They can reach lengths of up to 17 cm. They are a communal species, but cannibalism has been known to occur, and if caught, they can be extremely violent even towards their own kind.

Rather than being a lethal toxin, the giant scorpion's venom is paralytic. The venom is distilled into medicines against various kinds of microorganisms. It exhibits good results in disc diffusion assay for Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus, among others.

The scorpion is farmed for consumption as a novelty food in Vietnam and Thailand. They are also used to make snake wine (scorpion wine).

The venom of the giant forest scorpion is paralytic rather than lethal and is often distilled for medicinal uses to combat various microorganisms. In Southeast Asia, they are also known as a unique delicacy.

One specimen is displayed in a relaxed posture, while the other adopts a defensive stance, with its stinger poised for action, capturing the essence of their natural behavior. Sourced from Thailand, this piece is an intriguing addition to any collection, merging scientific curiosity with an artful presentation.

Macrodontia cervicornis (popularly known as the Sabertooth longhorn beetle) is an insect of the order Coleoptera and the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Prioninae; a beetle whose habitat is the humid tropical forests of the Neotropical region; from Colombia and the Guianas to the southern region of Brazil (Paraná), also including Ecuador and Peru. Reaching up to 17 centimeters in length, Macrodontia cervicornis is one of the largest and most beautiful species of beetles in the world, combining extreme rarity.

Interestingly, in the early days of aviation, in the 20th century, Macrodontia cervicornis served as a model for studies on aerodynamics by the French aviator Louis Blériot. Its larvae are a source of food for the indigenous peoples of Brazil, possessing excellent taste.

This perfectly rare specimen is beautifully displayed in a uniquely designed showcase by One of a Kind.
