Dynastes Hercules Hercules

This is one of the most Awesome Beetle that exists in this world!!



This my personal favorite insect. The Dynastes Hercules con be up to 18cm long, and are really great fighters! Their long horn are made for self defense and competing for their wifes.

Also the life of this insect is really long! They can be as a larva for up to a year and a half and beeing a beetle for a year long.

Here is a map of the distribution of these type of beetle:


If you want to buy one of these, it is really easy in Asia, but for USA it will be kind of hard. Here is a page where you can buy these awesome beetle:
