Description

The Titan Beetle (Titanus giganteus) is an extremely large species longhorn beetle that lives in the tropical rainforests of South America. It has a large reddish-brown and black abdomen, black colouration on its legs, antennae and thorax, and pale wings with brown vein structures. The beetle's robust mandibles are strong enough to snap through twigs and, while both sexes have wings, only the males are capable of flight. Like many species, it is threatened by the ongoing destruction of the rainforest habitat that it calls home. The adults defend themselves by hissing in warning and biting.Diet and Nutrition: It is estimated that they eat decaying wood matter underneath the ground.

Social:

The adult titan beetle is mostly solitary. However, its determination to find a mate to reproduce may result in a lot of activity.

Size: 6.6 inches.
