no, beetles are relatively late to the party, its all myriapods and odonates

Biggest beetle I saw this year was about a bit longer than an inch, and had very loooooooong feelers. Too bad it was too high up in a tree.

I love kabuto, but for rearing, I'd go with dorcus, for their longer lifespan
iirc serrognatus/dorcus titanus can go up to 2 yrs as an adult
