Atlas Beetle facts:
The Scientific Name of the Atlas beetle is Chalcosoma atlas. It belongs to the family ‘Scarabaeidae’. The Atlas beetle lives in southern Asia, particularly Malaysia. It is remarkable for its size which can be between 25 and 145 millimetres. Like many insect species, the male is larger than the female and usually two males will fight for dominance, the winner permitted to mate with the female in question. The Atlas beetle is, like other beetles of the genus Chalcosoma, notable for its size and its horns that are located on its head. It is a very strong beetle and can carry 4 grams in weight. The Atlas beetle differs from other Chalcosoma species as its cephalic horn is much broader.
In mythology Atlas carries the whole world upon his shoulders. In fact we don’t know exactly what this has to do with the name of this beetle, but that really doesn’t matter. This Atlas beetle will fit in perfectly your interior anyhow. Choose one of the beautiful colours and start building. Within 45 minutes you can give it a nice place in your home.
