WHAT ARE SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT BEETLES?

The Goliath beetle is the most massive insect in the world, with males weighing up to 100 grams (slightly over 3.5 ounces). Beetles can live beyond 30 years of age, making them the record holders in longevity in the insect world. The rhinoceros beetle can support weights 850 times its weight, making it the champion—in proportion to its size—in weightlifting.
