European rhinoceros beetle

Oryctes nasicornis

Description:

Found this beautyful male specimen near my flat, I was really surprised to see such a majeytic bug in the city

Notes:

They are very rare in Hungary, and protected by law. For killing or capturing a specimen the fine is 50.000 hungarian Forint which translates to roughly 160 Euros. Took some photos and put him on a tree.
