Odontolabis Beetles



Odontolabis is a genus of beetles belonging to the Lucanidae family. Members of this genus are usually large, oblong and shiny with males having enlarged head and jaws. In some species the males have different shapes of the jaws (polymorphic). This genus is south east Asian. This particular one I met in Wynad, Kerala, India.
