In addition, the pronatal horn is considerably longer than the clyneal one.38. Twee kevers uit de familie Cerambycidae zijn groter: Macrodontia cervicornis en Titanus giganteus. The length of the horns depends on a variety of factors, including genetics, nutrition, and environment. Females sometimes have a weaker ability to change colour than males, however.5. Thanks for writing another informative article!Thank you for the comment, Amna.

I think the pupa looks very interesting. When the cuticle contains water, its structure changes in a vital way and its ability to create colour disappears.7.
The length of the horns varies, but the upper one is generally much longer than the lower one.6. The eggs, larvae, and pupa of the beetles develop in the soil.33. I think the beetle is an interesting and attractive insect.Never heard of this Hercules beetle of the Scarabaeidae family from South America and W. Indies until I saw this. The members of the family are often called scarab beetles.The Hercules beetle has the scientific name Dynastes hercules. The Elephant Beetles flight is then somewhat controlled by the electrodes.Hercules Beetles get their common epithet from their incredible strength. It's interesting to learn about the insects.Impressed that the scientist can detail so many aspects of these small creatures. I am so grateful to you:)Thank you very much. The reported time for each stage varies considerably and may depend on environmental conditions, such as temperature21. In this stage, the developing insect is covered by a hard case made of soil and its own feces.24. Their size, shell and their nocturnal behavior are all beneficial in their protection from predators. They feed on the sap of certain trees such as Flame Trees (Royal Ponciana) and fallen fruit. Interesting!Thank you for the comment and the idea, Bede. ("Cephalic" means of or relating to the head.)8. !This is a well-illustrated article presented in an easily-assimilated style.Thanks, Heidi. The beetle is found in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and northern Mexico.35. Thanks, Linda for this interesting article.Beetles are fascinating and to know what is going on in their world is sad.Thanks for sharing the interesting comment, Mary. The Hercules beetle inhabits lowland and mountain rainforests.14. The larvae live off of decaying plant matter.Rhinoceros Beetles are nocturnal herbivores. Beetles have two pairs of wings. The insects are named after Hercules, the hero of Ancient Greek and Roman mythology who was famous for his tremendous strength. Probably not here in the Midwest. Researchers say that the colour of a dry Hercules beetle depends on the structure of the cuticle in the elytra. The fight continues until one of the beetles is injured, retreats, or is left upside down and helpless.13.
De Herculeskever (Dynastes hercules) is een van de grootste kevers. Thanks for the visit.Quite interesting, Linda. They are hardened and serve to protect the delicate hindwings, which are hidden underneath and are used for flight. :) Interesting as always, Linda!Linda, I am glad they are not found here even though they are harmless. The thoracic horn is usually considerably longer than the cephalic one.10. The two horns are approximately the same size. In fact, their horns are not dangerous at all, and the beetles are not known to bite. Observers say that the beetle creates a huffing sound by rapidly vibrating its abdomen against its elytra. A male tries to grasp his adversary between his horns so that he can lift him into the air and then throw him to the ground. Three larval stages, or instars, follow. I appreciate your visit, as always.A very informative article, so much information about Hercules beetles. It belongs to the family Scarabaeidae and the subfamily Dynastinae. Some researchers feel that the animals should be classified as members of the same species and that their differences are relatively minor geographical variations.The two beetles shown in the video below have just come out of a humid box and are still dark in colour, particularly the female.It's still uncertain why the different types of Hercules beetles change colour.
One idea that has been proposed is that this darkening may be useful by providing camouflage. Really interesting and amazing videos too!Hi Linda. Im on here for my school project and its really helpful!
They feed on rotting wood and other decaying plant material.15. The male's horns are noticeably longer than those of the eastern Hercules beetle. The male Hercules beetle is black in colour, sometimes with the exception of the elytra.
However, if you pick one up, it may scratch you with its strong, spiny legs.The American Hercules beetles reproduce by complete metamorphosis. Seems a bit odd but quite attractive.I haven't found information about the function of the hairs on the horn of the Hercules beetle, but I have for the hairs of other members of its family (the Scarabaeidae). Learned a lot about this beetle, thank you for sharing.Wow, I hope I don't see these monstrous guys in my yard. The reported time period is highly variable.
