goliath

[Longbord1]

does anyone know where i can buy a goliath beetle or larvae and after pupa are goliath beetles at full size also what do they beat as larvae and adult.

I believe goliath beetle larvae feed on rotten wood while the adults feed on nectar and sweet fruits. All beetles are full size after pupation.

You can't get them legally in the US because the USDA prohibits the import of plant feeding insects.

= correct

Here in Europe i've seen them beeing sold on insectfairs, but they are way to expensive for me (about 200 Euro for one adult beetle!!!)
very impressive beetles so, heavy and beautiful colors if you ask me!

Anybody knows what their lifespan is after pupation?, is it like Hercules Beetles like about 6 months???
