Venezuelan Rhinoceros Beetle (escarabajo rinoceronte) from the Andes

This is a rhinocerous beetle from the Andes; this is a very large insect that well earns its name as rhyno because of its horns. We encountered this critter while visiting the State of Merida in Venezuela at about 8,000 feet above the see level on a viewing site in the Paramo. This is a very good resource where you can find information about this and other rhinocerous horned beetles: Insecta Culture Rhino Beetles.
