Royal Goliath Beetle Fact Sheet Common Name: Royal Goliath Beetle Scientiﬁc Name: Goliathus regius Wild Status: Unknown Habitat: Tropical and Subtropical regions Country: Western Africa, countries such as Ghana, Guinea, & The Ivory Coast Shelter: Trees/Burrows Life Span: Roughly 4 months until they are adults after hatching, then adults live 3 months on average Size: Males can grow over 4 inches, and weigh 3.5 ounces Details: The Royal Goliath Beetle is one of 5 different species of Goliath Beetle, and all rank among the largest insects on the planet. The lifespan of this beetle, like many insects, is not very long...however because of their large size, the young larvae can take months to grow and fully mature. Goliath Beetles are from the insect family known as Scarabaeidae , the family that also includes Scarabs. Goliath Beetles tend to eat food that is high in sugar like fruits, as well as dung, and dead animals. Lizards and Birds of Prey that live in the forests of the Goliath Beetle tend to be some of their strongest predators. Cool Facts: • Goliath Beetles are some of the strongest animals on the planet - they can lift 850 times their own body weight. • Their legs are equipped with sharp claws that can help them with climbing trees. • In the wild, Goliath Beetles do not live very long and often die soon after mating. • Goliath Beetles are generally made up of black, white, and brown colors, however this can vary depending on their subspecies. • The outer wings of the Royal Goliath Beetle are called "elytra", and these harder coverings help protect the softer wings underneath. Taxonomic Breakdown: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Anthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Coleoptera Family: Scarabaeidae Subfamily: Cetoniinae Genus: Goliathus Species: G. regius Conservation & Helping: Currently the Royal Goliath Beetle is not listed by the IUCN, and either has deﬁcient data or has not been evaluated.

Fastest Flier Most Tolerant of Cold Longest Migration
Fastest Flier Imagine going as fast as you can on your bicycle. Now think of how fast a bug can go. We’re not talking about ‘butterfly’ speed. The Corn Earworm Moth has been known fly an average of 17 miles per hour. The Desert Locust flies faster at an average of 21 mile per hour. Scientists are still working on figuring out how fast other insects can fly. But there is one bug they’ve caught speed- ing — the Black Cutworm, which has been recorded going at speeds between 60 to 70 miles per hour! Most Tolerant of Cold Bugs can’t put on coats and sweaters when the temperatures start to get freezing cold. You can imagine their surprise when scientists were checking out how well the Pterostichus brevi- cornis (Kirby), a carabid beetle did in laboratory tests when they cooled down this bug to – 124.6°F. So, it’s not surprising to find this beetle living and thriving in its natural Arctic environment. Longest Migration Just think about how tired you would be if you tried to walk over 3,000 miles in less than two months. In 1950, individual swarms of the Desert Locusts, which lived in the dry areas of North Africa, were found to have flown from the Arabian Peninsula to Maurita- nia on the west coast of Africa, a total of 3,100 that same amount of time. In 1988, individual locusts hitched a ride on a sub tropical wave of low pressure and travelled an amazing distance, too. From the west coast of Africa, they landed a variety of places —from St.

It is designed as a supplemental elementary school curriculum for Grades 1–3, although it can apply to older or younger children as well. Body Parts By observing the picture of the robber fly (Figures 2 and Insects are important and interesting; they are the most 3), it is easy to see the three body parts that make up an successful group of all the animals. They are related to insect. The first region is the head. Insect heads have all spiders, crabs, scorpions, and other Arthropods, but one the features of human heads, with a few extras, too. The thing about them is different—most have wings. second part of the insect is the thorax. Its main function is locomotion, since the legs and wings attach to the body at the thorax. Finally, the third body part is the abdomen, a multipurpose part that has different uses in different insects. Figure 2. The robber fly is a fly that hunts other insects for food. Figure 1. Notice the wings on the moth. Credits: S. McCann Credits: S. McCann 1. This document is ENY-1000, one of a series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, UF/IFAS Extension.

Goliathus Lamarck, sensu lato by J. T. WIEBES Rijkmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden With six text-figures and two plates The collection of Cetoniid Coleoptera in the Rijksmuseum van Natuur- lijke Historie at Leiden contains, next to the usual assortment of chafers from various sources, several collections made by well-known specialists. Most important is the one made by F. T. Valck Lucassen (including the collection of O. E. Janson), acquired by the museum in 1940. A world collection of Cetoniidae is being arranged on the basis of this Valck Lucassen material. In 1928, the collection of G. van Roon was bequeathed to the museum, where it is to remain as such, not incorporated in the main collection. The data of the collection will be presented in this and forthcoming parts of a catalogue, accompanied by such revisional notes which it seems desirable to publish. Reference is here made to Junk's Coleopterorum Catalogus (Schenkling, 1921); in general, citations given by Schenkling will not be repeated in this series. Acknowledgements Thanks are due to the following persons, who communicated data or gave specimens in loan, from the collections under their care viz., Dr. C. A. W.
