7 Biggest Beetles & Insects in The World

Beetles Goliaths

Within the Goliaths genus, there are six distinct species of Goliath beetles and a significant number of other, less well-known subspecies. Female Goliath beetles typically grow to a length of between 2 and 3 inches, while their male counterparts may grow to a height of up to 4 inches.

As larvae, they may weigh up to 3.5 ounces, equivalent to 100 grams; however, by the time they reach their adult weight, they have often lost quite an amount of weight.

They are also extraordinarily powerful insects, with the ability to lift things that are up to 850 times heavier than themselves.
