The harlequin beetle (Acrocinus longimanus) is a large tropical longhorned beetle native to the Americas, especially from southern Mexico to Brazil in South America. The harlequin beetle feeds on sap and is given this name because of its  elaborate pattern of black, red and greenish yellow markings on the wing covers of both sexes. Adult Acrocinus longimanus are very large insects with bodies that can measure nearly 76 mm (3 inches) in length. (Wiki.)
