Beetle Bolo with Cord
Catch the eye of an entomologist with this Stag Beetle bolo tie. This adjustable brass bolo tie* comes with a black braided cord with goldtone tips. Wear it for any occasion, formal or casual, and you are sure to receive compliments on this unusual piece.
The stag beetle—named for its massive mandibles that resemble the antlers of a stag—is the largest terrestrial insect in Europe. These oversized mandibles are used to wrestle other stag beetles for preferred mates and food. A bit intimidating to encounter due to their looks, they are mostly harmless to humans. While some species can grow to be 12 cm, most are in the range of 5 cm.
(This beetle bolo is closer to 7.3cm long!)
