Museum[]
An information board in the bug exhibit will provide information about this bug.
"Horned herculeses are the largest beetles in the world, reaching over 17 cm in exceptional cases. Their 2 long horns look pretty, but they're powerful and can hurt a lot if you're pinched by them. The longer horn is covered with short, soft yellow hair, which helps them sense vibrations. The yellow on their bodies turns black when it's humid, making them difficult to spot on humid evenings."
In real life[]
The Horned Hercules, called the Hercules beetle in real life, are native to the rainforests of Central America and South America. It is one of the largest flying insects in the world.
