Xibaar
Rhinoceros beetles are its main prey, though it also eats other small invertebrates.1
Its mouthparts are needle-like, designed for sucking juices out of other insects.1
It is a nocturnal predator, so it hunts mainly at night.1
The orange and red colour forms are the same species, with the same body features, including the male and female genitalia.1
