Sobre
Megasoma actaeon, the actaeon beetle, is a large rhinoceros beetle of the family Scarabaeidae, distributed across tropical rainforests of northern and central South America, including Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. It is the largest species in the genus Megasoma among those lacking dense body hair, with adults reaching 50–140 mm in body length. The species name honors Actaeon, the hunter of Greek mythology. Body coloration is a lustrous dark brown to black. As with other Megasoma species, larvae grow to substantial size, requiring very large enclosures and abundant leaf litter or fermented substrate, which must be replenished regularly over the lengthy larval period of 18–36 months. Optimal captive temperature is 22–26°C. Adults eat beetle jelly or banana and live approximately 3–6 months. Alongside the elephant beetle, M. actaeon represents the pinnacle of heavyweight rhinoceros beetles and is a prestigious challenge species for advanced keepers.
