Goliathus goliatus – Goliath beetle
At the larval stage, this beetle is the heaviest of all insects, but once they become an adult they can halve in weight, tipping the scales at between 50 and 70g. It is believed that in the wild, they may be able to grow to over 100g, but this has not been proven by scientists. Not only known for its size but also its strength – It can lift over 850 times its body weight.
