Artist's notes:

goliath beetle thumb I illustrated a series of five beetles in 2005 and choose the Goliath Beetle for one of them. I love the stark black and white coloration and the fact that these beetles are massive. I hope to see one of these beetles in the wild some day.

Information about the Goliath Beetle:

The Goliath Beetles are among the largest insects on Earth. They can be found in many of Africa's tropical forests, where they feed primarily on tree sap and fruit. Goliath beetles measure from 2 to 4-1/3 inches in length as adults, and can reach weights of 3-1/2 ounces. The adults are so large that when flying, they produce a sound akin to a toy helicopter in flight.
