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 :)
