Now on display at Butterfly Pavilion, check out our magnificent Elephant Beetles! Growing up to 13 centimeters long, male Elephant Beetles use their impressive horns to battle for mates and access to food sources like trees and crops.They feed on bark, sap, fruit, and more. They also serve as pollinators, transferring pollen with the tiny hairs that cover their bodies.
