Golden Stag Beetle T shirt

Meet the Golden Stag Beetle (Lamprima aurata). Native to eastern Australia, this beetle is a show-stopper, gleaming in shades of burnished gold, emerald and bronze. Small in size but packing superstar energy.

This design captures the metallic magic of one of Australia’s most dazzling species. Known for its shimmering exoskeleton and gentle temperament, the Golden Stag Beetle reminds us that strength and beauty often come in the smallest, most unexpected packages.

Fun fact: those magnificent “antlers” aren’t for show. Males use them to wrestle rivals for mates and turf — a kind of beetle battle of the bands, if you will. But don’t worry, they’re lovers not fighters (and totally harmless to humans).

All HIGH TEES products are hand drawn, designed and printed in Melbourne, Australia. 

Our garments are digitally printed and these super soft fabrics require some extra TLC. As a result of cleaning, some fading may occur over time, most notably the darker shades in the print.

Fading can be minimised by following the care instructions below:

• Hand-wash or gentle machine cycle (inside out)
• Cold water only
• Mild phosphate free detergent recommended
• Line dry in shade
• Do not tumble dry
