Pets are known to be a man’s best friend. People, therefore, spend not only their time but a hefty amount of money to take care of their pets. But have you ever thought of keeping and investing in insects? In this article, we will tell you about a rare insect that can make you a millionaire. The monetary worth of the insect is equal to a luxury car or a lavish house. We are talking about the stag beetle.

The hype around this insect is only because of its high price. The stag beetle is the most expensive insect in the world. Even though it is only 2 to 3 inches in size, the price of the insect stands at $89,000 (approximately UGX340,594,000). As far as today’s scenario is concerned, people are drilling a hole in their pockets and willingly giving crores of rupees to buy the rare insect. Interestingly, the stag beetle is not only the rarest species, but one of the smallest and strangest insects on the earth.

According to scientists, adult stag beetles consume sweet fluids. They drink tree sap and the liquid from decaying fruit. They can’t eat and thus, only rely on drinks to feed themselves. Besides, they store energy by building up larvae. That is their primary source of energy.

Moreover, these insects feed on dead wood and use their sharp jaws to scrape the tough surface. Wood infected with white rot, in particular, is widely consumed by these insects. Besides, the larvae also store any fungi and other organisms in the wood.

Reportedly, the insect is brought into use while making various types of medicines. While male stag beetles have large jaws, females’ jaws are much stronger than the males. The female stag beetles are often seen on the ground. They are always in search of somewhere to lay their eggs, possibly as many as 30. They have wings, which are hidden under hardened outer wings.
