(...) the tropical scarab Podischnus agenor (...) inhabits burrows in the stalk of the sugar-cane plant (...)

OBS

Le scarabée tropical Podischnus agenor(...) habite dans des galeries creusées dans les tiges de cannes à sucre(...) Podischnus agenor est un insecte d’assez grande taille, son corps a quatre centimètres de long et ses cornes ont la forme d’une pince. Cette morphologie se retrouve d’ailleurs chez de nombreux scarabées à cornes. La corne frontale, assez longue, s’incurve vers l'arrière tandis que la corne prothoracique, plus courte, pointe vers l'avant de l'animal.
