What is the largest beetle you own? Dead or alive

[Greatwun]

Mine is a dried 72 mm Dynastes granti that I have on display on my desk. I usually only collect US species although I'm looking to add a 150mm Dynastes hercules hercules or Titanus giganteus. So what is the largest beetle you own?

 

[Satanas]

150mm Macrodontia cervicornis

 

[Jordan]

155mm Dynastes hercules

Not sure if it counts, but I have a resin paperweight with a Eupatorus gracilicornis concealed in it. It's about 9cm long if I recall correctly.

Mine is a 78mm Dynastes granti I caught last season. Have had hercules and lychi that were huge but prefer my small beetle gems.

That is awesome. Same with me. I often see 150mm D. Hercules for sale but not as many D. Granti that exceed 70mm. I have a Megasoma vogti that is 43mm and I've rarely seen one that exceeded 40mm for sale.

Should see my ruler collectors buddy collection of Lucanids! A whole drawer of monsters.

 

[Ratmosphere]

103mm specimen of Dorcus Titanus Palawanicus.

Wow! All lovely species. Love the pattern on the M cervicornis. And those horns on the E gracilicornis! Wow!
