Ok then, here is a pic of my best male Gromphadorhina. I put some white paper behind the glass to help further enhance the detail and color. Cheers!

Matt K Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 wow that is a great specimen. where did you obtain it? Thanks. This is a very rare import that came in from a collector in Europe. They are said to live in and around one specific cacti pinned to a bulliten board in a Madagascan classroom and no where else. I think the unofficial name is Gromphadorhina superflattensis. But seriously, how about seeing some photos of G.portentosa that you guys have? I know there are some good ones out there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
