Hercules beetles
Scientific name: Dynastes
Description
Dynastes, these beetles are among the largest in the world, with some species boasting horns that exceed their body length. These horns are not just for show; males use them in combat to vie for mating privileges, remarkably similar to deer antlers. They are harmless to humans and primarily feed on rotting fruit, not decaying flesh as often misconceived.
