[1] The titan beetle is native to tropical rainforests throughout South America, including Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, the Guianas, and north-central Brazil.

While the Titan Beetle is most generally associated with the Amazon Rainforest, it may also be found in other parts of South America if ecological conditions are favorable.

[2] These beetles are primarily found in old-growth forests with plenty of rotting wood, which serves as their principal food supply.

[3] Despite their broad distribution throughout South America, the titan beetle is secretive and rarely seen due to its nocturnal habits and cryptic behavior.

However, like many other species that live in tropical rainforests, the titan beetle is threatened by habitat degradation, deforestation, and climate change, all of which can have a substantial influence on its distribution and population levels.

The reproductive system of the titan beetle is very similar to other species within the subfamily Prioninae, with the pupal testis consisting of 12 to 15 lobes each containing 15 follicles.

[4] Digestive amylase, lipase, and protease in human and other animal organisms are responsible for breaking down food proteins into amino acids for absorption.

Reflected in their anatomy, titan beetles do not have all the digestive enzymes and fat reserves needed to consume food on a daily basis.

Their dietary habits as larvae contribute to the recycling of dead plants in the ecosystem, converting decayed matter into humus.
