For me I think the largest is the heaviest one, and it's best to use their adult phases. So it's the Goliath Beetle for me 🪲🐞

When you brought up their ability to fly, I thought you would be showing us the largest wingspan. I am going to Google that now.

Chonky and fuzzy beetles. I like it.
It should be the beetle with the largest volume. Which most likely will also be the heaviest, ergo the Goliath beetle is the winner (at least out of the beetles shown in this video)

Yeah the goliath beetle is gnarly
Fun fact: the theoretically largest beetle larva has never been found by modern scientists, though its boreholes in tree stumps allow us to guess. The titan beetle (shown briefly at 4:40) has a larval form that is thought to reach around a foot long, thus making it both the longest and heaviest beetle in the world.

A... FOOT... LONG...? That's -- oh my god. That goes up to my knee. It's around the size of the longest stickbug I've ever seen. That thing was massive. Oh geez...

Damnn, they rare or smtn?
I usually prefer mass when looking at the "biggest of something". It's less subjective and I want big and chonk. And considering we're talking about *beetles* I will have to go with the adult form and not a grub. I know they're the same species but a grub is just not a beetle yet, you know? So my pick is the Goliath.
My favorite science channel, especially with this video about insects and beetles. Mr. Orange Beanie is a good narrator/presenter. We have a real person. 👍
What about wingspan? That could be another catagory
you have captured some magical essense in these videos. good on ya, keep it going. the tone of voice, the musical inputs, and the curiouse nature of the video topic, the vibe is great
Sorry I don't have much money right now, but I just wanted to let you know your videos (especially on insects) mean a lot to me!

@@icarusclark1653 I wholeheartedly agree with OP. I just adore beetles. A perfect beginner species is the blue death feigning beetle (my first pet invert actually). Another good beginner species is the morio beetle (the adult of the superworm which can be found at any pet store as feeder insects). I pupated three superworms that I got from my friend’s brother who has a leopard gecko. The three beetles are all still alive after 13 months!

I would love to see more videos on beetles, they’re some of my favorite creatures! You’re videos are always so calming and informative!! Love them so much ❤❤🪲🪲
The music and the soft narration gives me a strong Mr. Rodgers vibe. I think beetles are so cool. Some of my favorite creatures. This was a great episode.
I absolutely love your content and especially the way you format your videos! It brings me back to my childhood when I would watch animal documentaries all day! Thank you for this❤
I'm having nostalgia from the music and the video it makes me so happy to see them grow 🥺
The larvae of Actaeon beetle can weight up to 200 grams. Saw one at Japanese beetle shop.
They look like little pieces of art. They're spectacular really!
Saw a few of this guy’s videos when he started out a couple years ago so awesome to see how much his content has improved
Idk.. seems to me that the Longhorn beetle got shortchanged here. If you turned the antennas the other way, it would be even longer than the way it was done in the video. I wonder why it was done this way.. like is there an official reason?

Man I love this channel so much. It is a relaxing break from all the brain rot infecting KZread. I wish you a lot of success and keep up the lovely informative content!
This video is like a bug learning video for adults. I love the simplicity and children’s books artistry
I have western Hercules beetle tattoo. The whiteish grey beetles with black spot. So cool to know that large of a beetle is In North America.
I'm just so in love with your channel. Great work, the narrative is relaxing and informative.
Just loved the piano chords! It made the video so much more immersive and relaxing. Congrats for the great content!
You should add the little sound effects in the ad segment as well. It tickles my brain and I just really like it.

Why an elephant? 🤣 Are they known to have difficulty sleeping? 😮
why are your videos so satisfying.....!! your videos are informative as well as mellifluous.
if i saw that huge beetle larva irl, i wouldnt think its a beetle at first. i would assume its an overfed caterpillar. so the largest beetle for me is the hercules beetle.
I feel like I could fall asleep to this IN A GOOD WAY!!!😃😃😃
these videos are surreal, in the best way
i didn’t expect that the really big beetles could still fly lol
Dude I am absolutely tripping balls watching this video I’ve never been more entertained in my life
Crazy part is a lot of them fly I’m just so happy they don’t live around me. Only the June beetles do
When you started pointing out the wings I thought you’d start to measure that (like birds wingspan). I guess just another way to distinct how “big” an insect is, but really crazy how many different ways a question can be answered.
The video is so calm and I just love this.
I feel like you should do asmr as your voice is very soothing and would work very well for it
4:21 *“the largest Hercules are..about the length of. Your average banana”* 💀💀💀
Honestly really great watching these videos, so nice
i love this and your vids in general! i beg you to make more beetle vids i love beetles sm

Bro took “explain it like I’m 3” to a whole nother level
I hit my head on the table in shock that the (huge) larvae is that big! Thats quite big! Impressive, indeed
watching your videos while doing my presentation project is so calming, i'm learning twice the information lol my vote on largest beetle is on sir hercules beetle! when you said it's average size is basically a banana I straight up stared at my own palm for two minutes imagining the size of it crawling on me. That'd def be a huge beetle!
5:11 No it’s to brush their teeth before bedtime
Sir you remind me of my childhood and the PBS tv channel. Thank you for the great content.
I used to see beetles the way I see any other insects but after catching so many of them in animal crossing I finally understood the fun in catching them😅
"The horn that comes from it's head is called a head horn." "The horn that comes from it's thorax is called the t̶h̶o̶r̶a̶x̶ pronotal horn".
I'd count the fully grown ones only. It's like registering a newborn as the world's shortest person in the Guineas Book of World Records 😅

His voice is so soft im simping
as a beetle enjoyer, thank you so much i love you
When the picture shows the "longhorn beetle" with the Hercules beetle, it is not a longhorn beetle but a titan beetle.
Scarabaeidae in general is amazing 👌
I love how the most replayed part of the video is the transition between the sponsor to the video
I love the music you use
Him : “ this beetle is as large as a banana! , and can fly!” Me : * starts to panic, then realizes that beetles like that doesn’t live in my country, “pheeew” *
I appreciate the Hungry Hungry Caterpillar style of the diagrams
I love your videos theyre so relaxing
I GOT SO HAPPY SEEING THIS VIDEO!!
The Mr.Roger's style piano is so good for this kind of content!~
I thought you were gonna do one for the beetle with the longest wingspan/widest
Omg i love beetles i had one as a pet and they are so CUTE❤❤❤love the video really informative and interesting 😊
For me I think the Goliath beetle wins for biggest, very large friends that I'd like to watch walk around
Termind variants be getting wild out here
Absolutely love this content dude, every video has me wanting more! Tbh I find beetles kinda creepy tho 😅
the way he said "ah! wings" melted my heart :з
I love huge crunchy looking beetles.
The Mighty Titan Beetle is a strong contender.
I use to catch and play with Rhino beetles when I was young, I lived in the Philippines 🇵🇭😁
Okay this makes me happy. Beetles are my jam! Love coleoptera.
That last beetle reminds me of the Paradox Frog, a frog where the tadpoles were larger than the adults.
You should do videos on animals that actually make sounds.
Your easy going voice and piano music reminds me of Mr Rogers. Get a cardigan covered in bugs and you'd be golden. Keep it up please!
Actually thought that wingspan will be a category watching along the video.
I would also consider biggest wingspan
Thus is the best way to over the fear of bugs
From what I have learned "largeness" (not a real word 😂), is defined by weight and mass. The goliath beetle has both factors so it is safe to say it is the largest beetle
Those beetles are so well behaved
4:27 we are talking about the fruit: Lets take it as the size of a average rabbit or human head to not confuse people
For the heaviest weight of Actaeon beetle larvae, it can be over 150 grams easily, some of them even can grow to 220 gram .
Giving me serious mister Roger vibes
"largest beetles in earth" Me looking at my volkswagen beetle:
I also remember seeing one of these beetles bigger than an adult human hand.
Does anyone know a channel like this but about gemstones? I really love to learn about gemstones and i would love if anyone has any suggestions!
The Goliath beetle reminds me of the closet shaped bug from the movie Coraline
Beetles are my always favorite animal

the fact that you said antennas and then antennae gave me psychic damage
Put each beetle in a full tub of water, the more water that is displaced out of the tub of water the bigger the beetle
