🪲Hercules beetle
Le Dynaste Hercule (Dynastes hercules) est une espèce d'insectes de la famille des Scarabaeidae, de la sous-famille des Dynastinae, de la tribu des Dynastini et du genre Dynastes. C'est le plus long scarabée rhinocéros du monde. Il peut être considéré comme l'un des plus grands Coleoptera, voire un des plus gros insectes au monde, en première place (ex aequo cependant avec Titanus giganteus — un Cerambycidae ou longicorne), ou nettement plus loin dans le classement si on considère que seuls les mâles, grâce à leur « corne » thoracique, ont une taille remarquable.
