If beetles had sports leagues, Dorcus hopei binodulosus would be the heavyweight champ with a cult fan base. Native to Japan and parts of East Asia, this stag beetle is revered for its thick, no-nonsense mandibles—built less for elegance and more for shoving opponents clean off the tree. Some males grow large enough to look like miniature medieval weapons, and beetle breeders even hold competitions to see whose champion can deliver the most decisive flip. This hard enamel pin captures their muscular silhouette and glossy black armor in polished metal and rich enamel—no beetle-wrestling license required.
Specs:
- Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
- Secure clasp so your stag beetle doesn’t “storm the castle”
- Size: 43 x 27.5mm
- Will not challenge your keys for dominance
Perfect for stag beetle collectors, insect sport enthusiasts, and anyone who likes their entomology with a side of gladiator energy.
