The listing is for 1x adult beetle, of a North American relative of the Hercules Rhinoceros Beetle, which has a beautiful orange/yellow body colour.
Like many members of the rhino & stag beetle families, males sport impressive horns used in wrestling matches with rivals, whereas females are hornless.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from the US.
The adult beetles feed on a variety of fruits such as banana, apple, pear, peach and watermelon. The larvae feed on decaying wood and leaf litter.
