Hercules beetles, unicorn beetles or horn beetles.
The rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) is aptly named because it has horns on its head, much like the rhinoceros does. These beetles are found in most tropical rainforests around the equator region.
Rhino beetles are real strong! Scientists believe that the beetle has become so strong to be able to forage through heavy litter on the jungle floor and dig its way to safety. Using its horns it can dig its way out of a sticky situation by burying itself underground, escaping danger.
The rhinoceros beetle can carry 850 times its own weight. That’s equivalent to a man lifting a stack of 76 family sized cars. In spite of their fierce appearance, they are all totally harmless.
They cannot bite or sting or hurt you with their horns.
