]]> http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=53034 Large and robust Longhorns, usually brown to black. Antennae long, prominent, sometimes flattened. Often sexually dimorphic, males having large, strong jaws. Presumably these are used in intra-specific fights. Nocturnal, attracted to lights. Larvae usually feed on rotting wood, often wood in contact with soil, such as roots. Tree-associated species often have gregarious larvae. This subfamily could be called "really big borers". This beetle was approximately 2.5 inches in size and was very fast in spite of the rains Fri, 04 Jul 2008 06:12:26 -0700 Sindhu Ramchandran http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=53034

And sometimes the light was kind to us, too, and let us take images. Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:36:30 -0700 Deepa Mohan http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=52975

]]> http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=52968 Sindhu Ramchandran had earlier posted an image of this species. http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=52341 It was observed that the third orange segments are merged instead of alternating with black segment. It can be observed in this pic too.. Wonder why it is so.. Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:47:25 -0700 Adarsh Raju http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=52968

L Shyamal has also photographed it in Bangalore so I presume it is common and widespread. Wed, 02 Jul 2008 06:16:04 -0700 Kiran.Srivastava http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=52827
