So wcinsects.com recently did an article about the world record hercules beetle Dynastes hercules hercules bred in Japan by a famous breeder known as HirokA:

171 millimeters!!!

 

www.wcinsects.com also has a small database of beetle sizes and larval weights that is slowly growing over the months. If anyone has some data they'd like to upload, it would be cool to expand the database. The more information the merrier! Cheers.

This is cool. But not sure if it's the world record. I saw a preserved corpse specimen sold on eBay for $500. And it was 172mm (± 1mm).

 

Wonder what the actual world record is
