it's CITES.
seems no available on market ,does anyone know anyone have it? and ok to show photo?
Fiji ,capital city there're a few chinese working there,one told me he saw Xixuthrus before. they feed on plam trees. he caught one i think was not Xix.hero but other Xixuthrus sp. females,the photo is very fuzzy,not clear. i asked him to help me collect and i can pay him by each specimen,this stupid man seems no any interested on this deal. what a great opportuante i lost.
Xixuthrus is one of my several most desired prionidae families.
;D

hi John,
thank you for the guide.
i simply viewed the posts,i add some words,according to my little experience with this chinese that working there,he told me the native people caught in palm tree and gave him,the natives there knew little about insects,they don't know what "portection",it depends i think,depeneds on what kind of native people. i don't think it is so hard to collect there,for ex. you walking in the road at night,and encounter a x.hero on the ground and you pick it up and put into your bag,who knows? then send it by EMS or registered mail back to your home. that's easy.
a friend of mine who are belgic he traveled to Costa Rica months ago,caught some beetles in the beach and other forest outskirt,alcumilated a certain quanity then sent by EMS back to Begium,if the postoffice there don't open to check the parcel,parcels will be easy to go out,that's one of the hope!
try it when get to a new place!

ha, funny you should post this. I wish I could help, but when I visited Indonesia some locals insisted I tried their fried bugs.... one of their favorites was a long horn that looked a whole lot like this one. At the time I did not think to identify it, I wish I had, although it was fried..... they found them mostly on trees and from what I know about asian long horns, they likely feed on trees but I am not really sure
hope you find some

The pictured beetle is a quite common Olethrius.

good infomation! thanks Mr.Coleoptera. i googled picture.
yet the insects from oceanic countries are still little knewn to many collectors like me.
that was also i wondered that so easy to obtain a Xix. Prionidae there? ok,uneasy.
