The Titan beetle is one of the most mysterious creatures in the world and one of the largest insect species in the world. It mainly lives in the tropical rainforests of Colombia, Peru, Guyana, Ecuador and north-central Brazil. The adult titan beetle can reach 6.5 inches (about 16.7 cm) long, or 8 inches (about 21 cm) if the length of its antennae is included.
The titan beetle's jaws are said to be capable of snapping a pencil or slicing into human skin. Adult titan beetles never eat, they just fly around looking for mates, and are easily attracted to bright lights in the dark. Titan beetle larvae have never been found, but scientists believe the larvae live in wood for several years before fully growing, then pupating into adults.
Titan beetles make a hissing sound to intimidate their enemies and have a hard exoskeleton and powerful jaws. But according to reports, this large insect will not easily attack humans unless they are provoked.
