I’ve always felt this was an unfortunately often overlooked Beetle. The color is beautiful…typically a dark green, with some iridescence to it, and the underneath has a burgundy tone to it. I also love the “tufts” on the antennae
The Thysia wallichii tricinta is a striking longhorn beetle from Sumatra, Indonesia, admired for its subtle yet mesmerizing beauty. Its elongated form displays rich metallic tones of bronze, violet, and green, with a surface that catches light softly—more like brushed metal than mirror shine. Its long, tapering antennae add a touch of refinement, swaying gracefully as it moves along mossy bark in the humid forest air.
A quiet marvel of Sumatra’s jungles, this beetle embodies natural elegance and earthy vibrance, a living reminder of the intricate artistry found in the island’s hidden ecosystems.
