As grubs they are impressively large. As beetle expert Brett Ratcliffe puts it, they “are basically the size of a Polish sausage.” Hercules beetles also go through metamorphosis, like a butterfly. Except, a butterfly spins a cocoon out of silk. The beetle builds a pupal chamber out of its own feces and, in it, transforms. As an adult, male Hercules beetles can stretch up to seven inches long including their horns.

We have a type of Hercules beetle where I live in N.C. They don't get as big as this one, but they are still big, around 5 inches. I caught one as a kid and it was the biggest beetle I've ever seen.

@beetlelover9570 5 лет назад

Larvaes will eat as much food as possible for the metamorphosis. In other word, larvae stage is the only time beetles can grow, so after they are adult, they cannot grow in size. During pupation, larvae will break down its own body with its digestive enzymes, then recreate its body structure inside the pupae.

@KryptonKr 5 лет назад

Kexin that is what metamorphosis means. You transform into a completely different thing. There are two types of metamorphosis, this beetle is a complete metamorphosis while other insects like, cockroaches, praying mantis and others alike are not complete metamorphosis since they look the same when they are in their nymph stage
