Not an alien, this is the most exotic giant bug on Earth

Social network users have had the opportunity to be astonished after seeing the clip back to the scene of a strange-looking creature as if it came from a rocky planet.

The bug in this clip belongs to the insect breeder Hirofumi Kawano, who posted on his Facebook page. Hirofumi notes below: "A lot of people think that a cocoon cannot move."

The truth is, the insect in the clip is a real species on Earth, called the bug , in the cocoon stage.

The red hung fat beetle is in its third life cycle, the pupa sleeps in cocoons for 18 months before escaping into an adult bug with the largest size of the insect world.

The beetle bug has a size and health that is well suited to the name of the hero in Greek legend.

Nymphs will sleep in cocoons about 18 before becoming an adult bug.

The bug, whose scientific name is dynaste hercules, is a bug belonging to Kien Vuong subfamily. In particular, males own double-looking pairs of horns growing from the head and chest. As an adult, the male body can reach a length of 7.8cm and even more. Based on a number of specimens collected in the island of Guadeloupe, Caribbean Sea, they can be up to 17 or 18cm long.

According to the Guinness Book of Records, the beetle is the longest beetle in the world , largely due to its super-long pair - which can sometimes be longer than the male body. From the time they were larvae, the beetles could reach size of 11-15cm and weigh about 140grams.

The bug beetle is as big as a palm and fat.

Once they become pupae, they create a cocoon layer and sleep inside - this period lasts for nearly 2 years. Although at this time their weight will decrease, in exchange for males will grow more and more long, which will be used when they enter the reproductive period.

To scramble for the attention of the children, the males will use their pairs to try to grab the opponent, tossing it into the air in hopes of causing the opponent to fall to the ground and break his neck. The beetle bug also has remarkable power - they can lift objects that weigh more than 850 times their own weight.

Adult bug.

As adults, males will use it more often in the struggle for children when it comes to reproductive period.

However, the beetle is quite different in appearance, they do not have stately "horns" but their bodies are much larger than males.

Beetle bugs can be found in southern Mexico, Southern Bolivia and the Antilles island group in the Caribbean.
