This topic goes out to the Dorcus Titanus Palawanicus. This is a 102mm dead specimen. The mandibles are huge and this beetle is very heavy! I can only hope to receive a live one in life. This photo was taken with the iPhone 5s. P.S. Don't buy beetles when it is cold out.

(PHOTOS DELETED.)

Bummer man, sorry to hear that

That's a heck of a beetle! I'm supposed to get some shipped to me this week and I'm pretty nervous about the cold here too.

Thanks and I certainly will! The shipper said they had heat packs and styrofoam, so that should (hopefully) serve as a good shield against the cold.

 
Sorry it took me so long to say, but the beetles and larvae all made it without a scratch! Awesome stuff, though my adult males aren't nearly as large as yours (70 mm and 40 mm respectively). Still super cool though!

 
The woman who I purchased these from replaced them. I couldn't be happier. What a nice person! The size is 101mm.

Titan Monster Beetle Shop, although I do not recommend importing invasive species.
