Goliathus goliathus 3rd Instar x 1

Goliath Beetle Larvae. 
Bred in the UK 
Larvae will feed on decayed oak and beech leaves or flake soil and should also be fed additional protein such as gamarus shrimp or Koi pellets. 
Egg to adult is usually around 18 months
Adults will feed on ripe fruit and beetle jelly. 
Adults can live up to 10 months. 
Larvae are best kept seperately 
When the larvae reaches maximum size and begins to turn yellow or starts crawling on the surface of the substrate it is reccomended to move them to much deeper containers (tall sweet jars are ideal) and give them a 50:50 sand:soil mix as this will help them to construct toughter cocoons.
