ANSWER  The larvae live for 1-2 years, the adults live about 3 months. The scientific name of the Goliath beetle is Goliathus goliathus. Adults range in length from 80-115 mm, and the largest and most massive of all insects. It occurs in West Africa and surrounding regions. The larvae live in soil and feed on decaying organic matter. The adults are strong flyers, and their loud buzz when flying often attracts attention.
