Donating to the museum
As with all insects in the Animal Crossing series, the horned elephant can be donated to the museum followed by a small talk by Blathers, the curator.
In Wild World
In City Folk
The elephant beetle can be found on the middle tier of the insect section, located on a palm tree next to the tarantula and scorpion, in the same section housing the rafflesia.
In New Leaf
After donation, an information board in the insect exhibit will display a description of the horned elephant.
In New Horizons
When donating to the museum, Blathers will say the following:

Real-world information
The elephant beetle is a type of Scarab beetle that can grow between 7 to 12 centimetres (2.75 to 4.75 inches) in length; males are sometimes bigger and can grow around 2 to 3 times bigger than the females. Living in the rain-forests of South America, as well as Central America and southern Mexico, these beetles are mainly active at night and mainly feed on sap, bark, and ripened fallen fruit. Elephant beetle larvae develop in large decaying logs and take up to 3 years to develop into adult beetles. The lifespan of these beetles is around 1 to 3 months. However, elephant beetle populations have been depleting by the destruction of the rain-forests, which has reduced their grounds for mating.
