The one-horned fairy (Trypoxylus dichotomus) is a popular insect, notable for its large horns, which are characteristic of males, and is often the subject of specimen collections and educational research. It is widely distributed throughout Asia, especially in forests and tropical areas, where it lives on trees and feeds mainly on SAP and rotting wood.
The process of making a specimen includes capturing, fixing, drying and framing. When capturing, healthy and complete individuals should be selected to avoid interference with the ecological environment. After fixation, the specimen is naturally air-dried in a drying chamber to preserve its form and color. Finally, the dried specimen is fixed in the specimen box with a needle, and the relevant information label is attached for easy preservation and display.
Rhinoceros specimens are not only of great value in biological research, helping scientists understand the ecology and behavior of insects, but also in the field of education to stimulate students' interest in biodiversity. In addition, the unique shape of the unicorn often inspires artistic creation and is an integral part of the insect specimen.
Thank you for your warmth.

A specimen of the rhinoceros is an exquisite work of art showing this magnificent insect. The unicorn beetle, also known as the horned beetle, is known for its prominent front horn and majestic size and is a "giant" in the insect world. Making a specimen of the rhinocerus usually requires careful treatment of the insect, including extermination, drying and immobilization, in order to maintain its original form and color.
The preparation process first involves treating fresh specimens with insecticides to prevent them from rotting. Next, the insects are carefully dried to ensure that all water is removed from their bodies. After drying, the unicorn is attached to a specimen needle and placed in a transparent display case. The display box is designed not only to protect the specimen from the environment, but also to give viewers a clear view of every detail of the unicorn, including its magnificent front horn and exquisite shell.
The specimen is of great value in education and scientific research. They help students and researchers understand the biological characteristics, behavioral habits and ecological roles of the unicorn. In addition, these specimens are often used in museum exhibitions to allow the public to appreciate the magnificence and strangeness of this insect, while raising awareness of insect conservation and ecological diversity.
Thank you for your warmth.

Trypoxylus dichotomus (Trypoxylus dichotomus) is a beetle with a distinctive appearance, particularly the male's frontal horn, which resembles a distinctive handful of horns. They are found mainly in East Asia and live in forests and humid environments. The unicorn is not only popular for its beautiful appearance, but also for playing an important role in the ecosystem, mainly feeding on humus and tree SAP, which helps maintain the ecological balance.
Taxidermy is a fun and educational activity. You need to choose the right time to catch, usually in the summer night, the unicorn is very active. After capture, it can be fixed with alcohol. After fixing, it needs to be dried to maintain its beautiful shape, and then it is pasted on the specimen card and marked with relevant information.
The specimen can not only display its unique morphological characteristics, but also arouse people's attention to the ecology of insects and promote the understanding of biodiversity conservation. In science education, rhinoceros specimens have become an important tool for understanding the insect world, stimulating students' spirit of exploration and enthusiasm.
