Field Notes

Description:

Ol' Rhino loves his grape juice!
Well, the Rhinoceros Beetle was still around this morning - his 6th day here. So, thinking he might be a bit hungry by now, I offered him half a grape… Haha, he didn't let go of it for the next couple of hours! Body length including horn 5 cm / 2 inches.

Habitat:

Hills overlooking Manila
