Rhinoceros Beetle Specimen

Did you know that a Dynastinae or rhinoceros beetle can make a hissing noise by rubbing its wing covers and abdomen together? The males have ’horns’ on their heads thus the name ’rhinoceros beetle’. These herbivorous insects are sometimes also referred to as ’Hercules beetles’ because of their amazing strength! This specimen is a great asset for any science lesson.

I used this as a reward to use with one of my bug-loving, hard to motivate Special Education students. It worked so well now all my boys in class want one!!!
