If Chalcosoma chiron were a piece of medieval weaponry, it would be the kind that requires two horses and a ballad to describe. Native to Southeast Asia, this rhinoceros beetle spo rts three massive horns—one jutting from the head and two from the thorax—forming a living siege engine for pushing rivals around during mating competitions. Males can reach over 12 cm long and have the kind of armored sheen that makes them look perpetually ready for a jousting match. This hard enamel pin captures their heavyweight frame, polished exoskeleton, and over-the-top headgear in gleaming metal and rich enamel—no humid rainforest trek required. Specs: Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill Secure clasp so your beetle doesn’t “charge” off Size: 44 x 34.5mm Completely uninterested in your chessboard Perfect for horned beetle fanatics, insect collectors, and anyone who enjoys a little medieval flair in their entomology.
