나뭇진을 먹는 사슴풍뎅이 Diconocephalus adamsi eating oak sap (beetle from Beetaro's bizzare adventure meme)

우리나라에서 유일하게 뿔을 달고 있는 꽃무지인 사슴풍뎅이(딱정벌레목 꽃무지과)가 수액을 먹고 있습니다.
대형 수컷은 암컷과 오붓하게 즐기고 있고, 소형 수컷이 밑에서 혼자 수액을 먹습니다.
사슴풍뎅이는 5~6월에 참나무 숲에서 볼 수 있으며 수컷은 회백색 가루로 덮여 있고 암컷은 적갈색입니다.
개인적으로 한국을 상징하는 곤충 중 하나로 띄워줬으면 하는 바램이 있습니다. ^^

JoJo's beetle adventure? Beetaro's bizzare... Wait a minute, these beetles are NOT Jotaro or DIO and not exist in Japan!
Adams' horned june beetle(temporary name, Dicronocephalus adamsi) is a kind of horned cetoniid beetle distributed in Korea and China. This species occurs in may to june and can be found in oak forest. The Korean name 'saseumpungdengi' means 'stag chafer' because male has two horns(are made of extened clypeus) like a stag. Like rhinoceros beetles or other horned scarab beetles(goliath beetles, dung beetles, etc), female doesn't have horns. Only males use horns to fight other males. They also use their long front legs and sharp claws like whips.

Sexual dimorphism in Adams' horned june beetle is very clear. Male has horns and white body, but female doesn't have horns and red brown body. In the early summer, the Adans' horned june beelte starts their active life. In my opinion, Adams' horned june beetle must be considered as one of the 'symbol' insect of Korea. (most of Korean insect manias think that Callipogon relictus and Papillio xuthus are symbol insect of Korea. C. relictus is a symbol of the Korean journal of entomology and P. xuthus is a familiar butterfly in Korean culture like songs, folks and traditional arts.)
