Mecynorrhina torquata ugandensis, commonly known as the Giant African Flower Beetle, is a large rainforest species famed for its dramatic color variation ranging from velvet green to rich chocolate brown and orange.
Males feature a prominent Y-shaped head horn used to battle rivals, while females possess scoop-like heads designed for digging into decaying wood.
Its larvae feed on rotting forest leaf litter for nearly a year before adults emerge to feed on sap and ripe fruit.
