Goliath beetles

[Steve Johnson]

NHCers:

I would appreciate any references to popular or scientific articles on
goliath beetles. Searching the usual Dialog databases (Biosis,
Zoological Record), I found little of use to our exhibit designers.  The
most pertinent item was a half page field note published in the East
African Natural History Society Bulletin in 1983.

Searches through the online catalog of the American Museum of Natural
History Library turned up nothing with title words "goliath beetle" and
nothing apparently pertinent under subject Beetles Africa. A BookWhere
search of LC, UW-Madison and several other catalogs yielded similarly 
disappointing results.

Internet search engines turned up pictures for the most part. Perhaps I
gave up too soon.

I can almost read the label now: "Although it is the largest beetle in
the world, the Goliath beetle is little known to science. "
