Titanus giganteus, commonly known as the Giant Longhorn Beetle, is one of the largest beetles in the world, native to the rainforests of South America. It can reach lengths of up to 17 cm. The species is known for its impressive mandibles and robust, elongated body. Despite its size, it is elusive and primarily nocturnal, dwelling in the dense forest canopy where it feeds on rotting wood.

Titanus giganteus, commonly known as the Giant Beetle or Titan Beetle, is native to the tropical rainforests of South America. Specifically, it is found in countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. These regions are part of the Amazon Basin, which is known for its vast and rich biodiversity.

Titanus giganteus inhabits the dense tropical rainforests, which are characterized by high humidity, abundant rainfall, and warm temperatures. The climate is typically equatorial, with little variation in temperature throughout the year and significant precipitation that sustains the lush vegetation.

The Titan Beetle primarily occupies the canopy and understory layers of the rainforest, where it plays a role in the ecosystem as both a predator and a prey. Adult beetles are nocturnal and are believed to feed on decaying wood or plant matter, contributing to the decomposition process. The larvae, although not well-documented, are presumed to bore into wood, feeding on the xylem, which is a common behavior among similar beetle species. This niche allows them to assist in nutrient recycling within the forest ecosystem.
