Harlequin beetle (Acrocinus longimanus)

Bettle with the longest legs in the world, mainly found in Mexico and Brazil. The forelegs of the males can reach 17 cm, which are longer than its entire body. This super-long forelimb not only attracts the females, but also can be used to climb trees. It is given this name because the pattern of the strips on its back is like the custome of circus clown. Despite their eye-catching color, they can still find shelter in the trunks of tropical trees covered with lichens and fungus. In 2003, French scientists separated a new type of antibiotics from the harlequin beetle which can be used against different kinds of fungi. It is then used to produce new drugs to reduce the mortality rate caused by drug-resistant Candida and yeast infections.
