1. A male beetle’s length is 30-54mm (not including the horn) and a female beetle’s length is approximately 30-52mm.
2. Male beetles have a large horn extending from the head and another smaller horn but female beetles does not have a big horn but small horn. So they are very strong, heavy insects, but they can fly.
3. Beetles change the body.
4. In the wild, beetles are active at night in the forests and feed on tree sap.
6. Male beetles fight on the tree till opponent goes flying off the tree.
7. Beetles do not live long. A Male beetle’s life expectancy is just 30-50 days and a female beetle’s life expectancy is just 50-80 days.
