Goliathus goliatus originates from the jungles of Western Africa. Adult males can get up to 110mm in size, rendering it one of the largest flower beetle in the world.

Primarily feeds on koi food. Can also be fed dog or cat food.
Beetle larvae go through 3 different larval phases: L1, L2, and L3. After the L3 stage, the larva pupates to turn into an adult beetle!
Difficulty level: Intermediate
THIS SPECIES IS NOT NATIVE TO THE U.S. AND IS NOT TO BE RELEASED OUTDOORS!
