Pachylomera femoralis
Unfortunately only a handful of A2 quality specimens left in stock as these specimens are missing tarsi on most legs.
It is the largest flying, ball-rolling dung beetle in the world. The front legs, that it walks on while rolling the dung ball, are particularly strong. It specializes to some extent on buffalo and elephant dung and constructs a large ball, with the flattened leg appendages. The front legs have a rufous velvet patch each, that are used to wipe the eyes clean.
