This is a specimen of Hexarthrius bowringi, my favorite species of Hexarthirus. They have been very rare until Japanese breeders got their hands on them, and since then prices have dramatically decreased. I am not sure if it is still in breedings, as it seems that prices are slowly going up again. The above specimen is a 72mm male, and supposedly wild-caught. I do not have my collection with me, but I believe the specimen is at least around 25 years old, I have it since 2002, obtained through an exchange.
Apologies for the watermark, for some time in the past I had so many people steal my images and put to their web pages.
Cheers
Ben
