Thopeutica glorioparadoxa Beetle Specimen | A1 Quality | Dry-Preserved CICINDELIDAE

Premium A1 Quality Dry-Preserved Beetle Specimen

A truly extraordinary example of Thopeutica glorioparadoxa — a tiger beetle from the family CICINDELIDAE bearing one of the most evocative names in the collection. Combining the Latin glorio ("glorious") and paradoxa ("paradoxical" or "unexpected"), the name captures the essence of a species that surprises and delights in equal measure — a beetle that defies expectation with its remarkable appearance. Dry-preserved to A1 museum standard, this specimen retains its full natural colouration, surface detail, and the distinctive form that makes Thopeutica glorioparadoxa one of the most intriguing tiger beetles in Southeast Asia.
