There is a major update regarding Goliath Beetles in the US!
Three of the five species of Goliathus now no longer require permits! NO PERMITS to own or ship between states: Goliathus goliatus, Goliathus cacicus and Goliathus regius
-- Remember - you heard it here first! --
Why? This change came about for two main reasons: the larvae will starve if not given an all-protien diet -and- the adults do not eat plants at any time, They feed on tree sap but only on sap runs that were created by other creatures and can not seem to start sap runs themselves.
Imports will still need a permit and individual states can still decide that they do not want live Goliath beetles in their state.
If you have wanting to keep large, exotic beetles in the US, now you can!
