Hercules Beetle
Dynastes hercules
Adult Hercules beetles inhabit humid tropical forests, often visiting tree sap and feeding on soft, overripe fruit. Males use their long paired horns to grapple with rivals and lift them from feeding sites or branches. Despite their formidable appearance, adults are largely nocturnal and capable of flight.
