The "birth" of the goliath beetle (Goliathus regius)
Just a short video of a good size fresh goliath beetle, being removed from its original pupal cell.
The measured size is over 95 mm, but since I did not want to hurt it by straightening it completely, it probably will be about 96-97 mm. The species is Goliathus regius, a rare goliath beetle from West Africa.
