Hello
I see a huge Callipogon relictus for sale in the Top 100 Insect auctions. This Chinese specimen is more than 96mm and the price is already above 4 numbers.
What is the known record size of this fascinating species ?
Has anyone seen it in the wild ? Must be a thrilling experience !

Very much look forward to your next photos beppemaraz ! I absolutely love Prioninae... The real "showstopper" would be if you possessed an example of that mythical creature known as Xixuthrus heros.
