This type of beetle i was photographed on one of my trips to the Amazon South American basins ..
Darwin’s beetle the male\'s oversized jaws are crucial in its objective to secure a mate. It climbs trees, often climbing many meters, searching for a female. As it climbs and searches for females, it also seeks out other males in the vicinity. When two males meet, they fight. Males use their jaws in combat: they hook them under the opposite beetle\'s wings, pull up and throw their opponent to the ground (from 20 meters above, as they are in great trees most of the time).
