Elephant Rhino Beetle, (Scientific name: Megasoma elephas) Origin: Veracruz, Mexico 📸 : Richard's Inverts These are two big males of a velvety species of rhino beetle in the Megasoma genus, literally translating to “great/large/mighty-body” in Ancient Greek. The visible orange colour is not the actual body colour of the beetle, but is from the large number of microscopic hairs that cover the surface of the males. As they get older, the hairs are shed, and the shiny black body is revealed.
