Premium A1 Quality Dry-Preserved Beetle Specimen
A celestially marked example of Rhinoscapha lunulata — a weevil from the family CURCULIONIDAE whose species name, from the Latin lunula meaning "little moon", references the distinctive crescent-shaped markings that pattern its surface. Where Rhinoscapha basilica is named for royal grandeur and Rhinoscapha dohrni for institutional legacy, lunulata is named for something altogether more poetic — the quiet geometry of moonlight rendered in scale and chitin. The genus Rhinoscapha, from the Greek rhis ("snout") and skaphe ("boat"), contributes its characteristic boat-snouted rostrum, giving this species the same elegant structural profile shared across the genus.Dry-preserved to A1 museum standard, this specimen retains its full natural patterning, surface detail, and distinctive Rhinoscapha form.
Specimen Details
Ideal For
The Rhinoscapha trio — the Royal, the Institutional, and the Moon-marked — represents three distinct registers of natural history naming at its most evocative. Rhinoscapha lunulata is the most visually poetic of the three: a weevil that carries the night sky in its markings and the forests of New Guinea in its provenance.
Each specimen is ethically sourced and individually inspected to ensure A1 quality standards before dispatch.

Really beautiful specimens. Perfectly spread and in perfect condition. Recommend
Fantastic specimens. Perfect and very pleased, thankyou!
This was part of a double order, same as my other review. I’m new to pinning as a hobby in my spare time. From what I can tell they’re good specimens with plenty of variety. My only gripe is that they didn’t come with ID but that wouldn’t stop me from ordering again. Hopefully ID can be added to future purchases.
As someone who’s just started pinning, I don’t know a lot. From what I can see they are good specimens with a good variety. Would definitely order again. My only gripe is that they don’t come with ID.
These were really great! Lots of variety and will be useful, thank you!
