I'm still working on my insect photos side project, but I've been pretty busy lately unpacking and getting moved in here in Arizona. This is the first new photo I've finished in the last two or three weeks. I hope you like it.
This is a southeast Asian stag beetle, Odontolabis mouhoti elegans, male, from Thailand. No common name that I can find, or at least none in English. It's not very showy but I've got some pretty ones in the queue for later this week.
Click the image if you want to see every pit, hair, wrinkle, and dust speck on the full resolution pic (in my Smugmug gallery).
