The Rhinoceros Beetles or Rhino Beetles are a subfamily (Dynastinae) of the scarab beetle family (Scarabaeidae)
They are among the largest of beetles, reaching 150+ millimeters in length, but are completely harmless to humans because they cannot bite or sting.They have a horn on the thorax and another horn pointing forward from the center thorax. The horns are used in fighting other males during mating season, and for digging.
