Found in African tropical forests, goliath beetles are among the world’s largest insects, growing up to four inches long. Some people keep them as pets! Adults in the wild eat mostly tree sap and fruit, but they like protein too. Pet goliaths often live on dog or cat food. (David Pegzlz / Shutterstock)
