Titan Beetle (Titanus giganteus)

The titan beetle is the largest known beetle in the Amazon rain forest and one of the largest insect species in the world. It typically lives in the rain forests of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, the Guianas and north-central Brazil. Adult titan beetles can grow up to 6.5 inches in length. They defend themselves against predators by using their sharp spines and strong jaws. It is said that their mandibles can snap pencils in half and cut into human flesh.

Like many large adult insects, titan beetles locate mates by flight and sensing air chemicals (pheromones).

This is the largest specimen of titan beetle in the National Entomological Collection at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. This beetle measures 5.5 inches.

 Deep in the rainforests of the Indian state of Meghalaya, bridges are not built, they’re grown. For more than 500 years locals have guided roots and vines from the native Ficus Elastica (rubber tree) across rivers, using hollowed out trees to create root guidance systems. When the roots and vines reach the opposite bank they are allowed to take root. Some of the bridges are over 100 feet long and can support the weight of 50 people.

Wow. I need to see this in my lifetime.
