Motif This beetle is one of the largest and most eye-catching in all of Europe, with a body and antlers that can grow up to 9cm. Despite its impressive appearance, its life as a beetle is short due to a lengthy development process for larvae and a short adult lifespan of only 3-8 weeks. As its habitat continues to decrease, the beetle's population is unfortunately declining and is now protected and considered highly endangered in Europe. Spotting one would be a truly lucky experience.
Please note: Paper texture and shape vary through the creation process and are unique to each sheet. Slight deviations in intensity and color may occur. Framing not included.
