[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Macro of an interesting beetle of the Calakmul jungle in Mexico. I am not sure but I suspect that it is a Cerambicidae.

The color of the body of this "bicho" is contrastant with the geen environment.

Hello Victor,
Fine capture of an impressive Longhorn beetle, species unknown to me. Fine sharpness, color and composition and nice that both antennae are sharp and included in the image.
Thanks for sharing,
Regards, Ivan

Hello Victor,

This is most probably a female of Callipogon senex (Prioninae, Callipogonini).

Best regards,
Dmitry
