We haven't seen another one of these for awhile either… :(
Thanks venusflytrap! The Rhino Beetles are regular visitors. :)
Amazing photos… Thanks for getting close enough to such a scary-but-beautiful creature!
Haha, thanks venusflytrap!
Yes, this was nearly 3 years ago… How I long to see another one. But not so many moths come visiting these days, as we have new neighbours - so we're not the only house anymore on this hillside attracting insects with our lights at night.
Bayucca, I so appreciated your ID help and expertise 3 years ago - and appreciate it to this day!
Haha, the truth is I am already so happy getting the genus… let alone the species… let alone the subspecies!! :)
Thanks for this ID correction Agnes!
Thanks so much for the ID correction Agnes! :)
Thanks Leanne & Sunnyjosef! :)
Thanks for your comments everyone!
These rhino beetles are wonderful creatures… Though they're TERRIBLE flyers, and are constantly crashing into things, landing on their backs with their legs waving pathetically in the air. So, one of my jobs, when they're around, is to help them back onto their feet again, haha :)
Thanks Jill! :)
