Rhinoceros Beetle

Or elephant beetle. For a short while there were dozens of these guys in my poinciana tree but they've nearly all gone now.

Such a strange looking insect!

[Rachel]

They are so crazy looking, a great capture.

[Margo]

Did they do much damage.? They are quite fearsome looking creature!

[Sheralee S]

@777margo No, not at all Margo, they do chew the bark but I can't see any real damage. This poor guy had one leg missing from battling another one.

[Nicole Campbell]

They always look like such nasty creatures, great capture

[Kerry McCarthy]

Fascinating little creature!

[Denise Wood]

[Lee-Ann]

I used see lots of those in Cairns.

[Mrs. Laloggie]

Can't decide if I'm horrified or fascinated by this beetle, but either way, looks good in B&W.
