Field Notes

Description:

Can fly. It's length about 6.4 cm (horn was not included). Can produce weird sound when feel annoying (I touch it using a stick). Its face like antagonist character on superhero movie. Its horn (antenna) can move freely to any direction.

Habitat:

Java, Indonesia. Inside forest or not, I still not yet known. (Any suggestion? Please comment)

Notes:

I found it on the yard in front of my house. After some photograph, I choose to put it on a Guava Tree. Then I take it again because I forget to measure it. And finally, I put it back on the tree. My mother suggest me to sell this beetle, but I choose to let it free. We must love our nature.
