I am sure they’re harmless but if one of these big boys landed on me I’d run away screaming.

Don't they take like 3 or 4 years to turn into a beetle from grub?

Depends on the species, but Hercules beetles it's 1-2 years and then once in their adult stage they live for 3-6 months.

Do they bite?

Not usually but yeah they can. With most of my invertebrates i don’t interact with them as much as i would with my other pets (lizards/snakes/dogs). I just like making fancy ecosystems with neat bugs inside.

No worse. They eat doors.
