6. Stag Beetle – $89,000
The stag beetle is quite the strange species, which
makes it even more expensive. It is characterized for
its red and blood-like curling mandibles and antlers
protruding from its black head. This particular beetle is
a member of the Lucanidae family that currently has
1,200 insect species. The average-sized stag beetle
measures around 2 to 3 inches in length. However, the
one that was brought to a retailer had a length of more
than 3 inches. The Japanese breeder was able to sell
his beetle for a whopping price of $89,000. He got his
money on the spot for this weird, but rare creature.
