The Cheirotonus jansoni beetle, a Class II protected species in China, is a rare type of scarab beetle known as the ‘Giant Panda’ of the insect world. The beetle is also regarded as an ‘indicator species’. Extremely sensitive to environmental species, the presence of this insect is an indication of a healthy ecosystem. When two male beetles meet, they fight for mating rights and total control of local resources in the Hainan tropical rainforest. #NatureDocumentary #HainanBiodiversity #Discoverin
