A range of 40-50 grams/1.4-1.75 ounces is how big Goliath beetles [Goliathus spp] can grow as adults. They also may mature to a length of 50-80 milliliters/2.0-3.1 inches for females, and 60-110 milliliters/2.4-4.3 inches for males.
They're even bigger in their larval stage. As larvae, they may weigh in at 80-100 grams/2.8-3.5 ounces.
A tropical forest is where the Goliath beetle is found.
Specifically, the beetle is native to Africa. It lives in the continent's tropical forests. It also may be found identified by its genus name, Goliathus.
Other insects, larvae eaters, and humansare predators of Goliath beetles [Goliathus spp]. Other insect predators may include a Goliath beetle's own kind. Specifically, adult male Goliath beetles are known to engage in fierce battles over territory, mating, and food sources. Otherwise, it's the larval stage that's particularly vulnerable to crippling and fatal injuries by bird and mammal rainforest residents that favor larvae as food sources.
