michelleobama Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 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: http://www.wcinsects.com/world-record-beetle-breeding 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. Photographs are copyrighted property.

rugops Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
