African goliath beetles are omnivores. Adults primarily consume sap and fruit. The subterranean larvae feed on decaying plant matter, dung, and decomposing animals. Given that they require a diet rich in protein to reach their large size, they may also be predators of other species’ larvae and perhaps even cannibalistic.
