rhinoceros beetles
Armored horn-bearers
Rhinoceros beetles are large beetles distinguished by horn-like projections on the males' heads, used for fighting rivals.
They're among the largest beetles in the world, found mostly in tropical regions.
Despite their formidable appearance, they're harmless to humans and don't bite or sting.
The name references their resemblance to rhinoceroses.
