Native of Egypt where it’s very common. Sometimes seen in foresty regions in Europe, having been brought there on ships carrying fruit.

Distinguishing Features:

It looks more or less like a large beetle with 6 legs, 2 pinchers, 2 antennas. It’s coloring is a bright shining golden colour, that actually looks as if it was made of gold. It’s about 3 foot in length, one foot wide. Under the golden armour-wings a pair of orangey very long bat-like flying wings are neatly folded. It lays about 30 - 50 golden eggs the size of marbles. These eggs are sticky and are carried around the neck of the female which has a camouflage colouring of green and brown during the laying and hatching process. Of these 30 – 50 eggs usually one 3 grow into adult Termitongs, cause most of the sticky eggs are lost during movement on tree-trunks or other places, where the eggs get stuck too.

Special magical featureand use:

The golden eggs that are lost and stick to tree-trunks walls and other places where Termitongs are found, harden up and can be eaten like sweets. They taste very sweet on the outside with a sour center.
