Odontolabis Lacordarei vs Spectabilis
Hello,
As the title suggests I'd love to clear out what the differences are between these two species. Am I right to assume it's mainly the orange patch on the head and the the teeth position on the mandibles?
Am I right to say the specimen on the left is O. spectabilis and on the right lacordarei?
Thanks for any input.

Anyone at least able to point me towards someone with an extensive knowledge about lucanidae?

The differences between these two species are rather subtle. It does appear however, that you have correctly identified the specimens in your photo (with spectabilis on the left, and lacordairei at right).Odontolabis wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2022 9:33 pm Hello,
