Hercules Beetle Plush
Hercules Beetle Plush
A Hercules beetle, horn and all, in plush. The real one can carry a hundred times its own weight. This one carries nothing and sits on your desk looking like it could.
What you're getting
- The horn is the point. Long, curved, tapering, sewn as a firm separate piece so it holds its shape instead of drooping.
- Olive-gold elytra over a black body — the colouring the live beetle actually has, with the dark speckling on the wing cases.
- Brown fuzz under the horn, exactly where the real one is hairy.
- Six jointed legs that splay out so it sits flat and low.
- 25 cm from mouth to tail. A proper two-hand beetle.

Questions people actually ask
Does the horn open and close?
No. On the real beetle the horn is a fixed part of the head and a second horn below it makes the pincer. This is a single sewn piece and doesn't move.
Do the wing cases open?
No. The elytra are sewn down. It's a plush, not a model kit.
Is it frightening?
People who dislike insects find the accurate ones worse than the cartoon ones. This is an accurate one. Judge your recipient accordingly.
How big is it?
25 cm from mouth to tail, 13 cm across the shell, 9 cm tall. Two hands.
