My friend, the Beetle

he's nice.

It's a shame they don't life for long since they reached the adult status.
He eats Beetle Jelly, Banana, Maple syrup, sweet fruits.
No, he can't bite (he didn't bit me, and I think he isn't even able to bite since his mandibles are too small/not visible). He can only scratch with his legs (like a rose thron ;-)) I didn't saw him ever fly..

I'm not sooooo sure if he's an Chalcosoma Caucasus or Chalcosoma Atlas...I'm new to this stuff.

@jufijabo1

Diese Tiere sind wirklich hoch interessant^^

Nein, die beißen nicht, soviel ich weiß haben die keine Mandibeln sondern lediglich so eine art Rüssel um den Nektar/Sirup vom Baum aufzunehmen. Allerdings sind sie in der Lage dich mit den Hörnern zu kneifen wenn du dazwischen gerätst xD
