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.
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.
Goliath's shield, as described in the biblical account of David and Goliath, was notably large, with some interpretations suggesting it weighed around 125 pounds (57 kg). While the exact dimensions are not provided in the text, it is implied to be significantly large to match Goliath's stature, which is described as being over nine feet tall. The shield was likely designed to offer substantial protection in battle, reflecting Goliath's formidable presence as a warrior.

In captivity, Goliath beetles can live up to a year after the pupal stage. In the wild, the life span is often shorter due to predators and weather.
