The Giant Beetle is a rare insect found in Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk. It can be sold for 10,000 bells. It appears during the summer evenings, between the months of June and August, and between the times 11pm and 8am. It is extremely similar to the Stag Beetle, the only differences being that it is a bit darker and bigger. It is thought to be the rarest bug in wild world.
Donation to the Museum
In Wild World
Upon donating the Hercules Beetle to the Museum, Blathers will comment:
"If you took this to a shop, they'd be willing to pay you quite well for it, I'm sure. That said, all it looks like to me is a glorified, expensive cockroach! Perhaps that's just me..."
In City Folk
Upon donation to the Museum, Blathers will say:
"The giant beetle boasts a massive horn, and yet it's said this bug is actually something of a milquetoast. Apparently this bug would prefer to stay inside where other creatures won't bother it. How precious. Even I could handle being near such a shy insect! I shan't be touching it, though..."
After donation, the giant beetle can be found on the top-most level of the insect section, three trees to the right of the lamp on the left-hand side, on the tree between the walkingstick and bagworm tree and the Saw Stag Beetle tree.
