Atlas Beetle
Chalcosoma atlas
Adult Atlas beetles inhabit humid tropical forests, especially around decaying wood and sap sources. Males use their long horns to grapple and lift rival males away from feeding sites or potential mates. Adults fly between trees after dusk, while their larvae depend on rotting wood for food and shelter.
