Goliath Beetle is a bit of a mystery. No one knows where he came from, but he's certainly not from Meadowfield. He is the biggest pest any bug-fellow has ever seen and he speaks in a language no one's ever heard.
Earwig discovers Goliath, wandering around in the shadows of the Smoking Hills. Using globs of Loomer food, Earwig is able to control the creature and lure him to the Great Cicada Emergence Ball.
To find out what happens next, you'll have to read The Great Cicada Ball. There's also a good chance you will run into the big beetle again in the pages of Book Three: Heroes of Meadowfield.

There is an entire business built around raising and selling Goliath beetles as pets. Goliathus can be raised from egg to adult. They will eat cat and/or dog food and can be raised in transparent breeding terrariums. Most likely the Goliath beetle in The Great Cicada Ball escaped from such an operation.
