rhinoceros beetle
Armored horned bug
Rhinoceros beetles are large beetles with horn-like projections on the head, used by males in combat over mates.
Despite their formidable appearance and immense strength relative to body size—they can lift hundreds of times their own weight—they're harmless to humans, feeding on fruit and plant matter rather than biting or stinging.
