Centaurus beetle : ウィキペディア英語版 | Centaurus beetle
The Centaurus beetle, ''Augosoma centaurus'', is a species of rhinoceros beetle found in tropical Africa, which measures about 40–90 mm. As common in many insect species, the male is larger than the female and usually two males will fight for a female for mating. ==Appearance== It is interesting to note that the Centaurus beetle's adult morphology is strikingly similar to that of beetles from the ''Dynastes'' genus which originate from tropical America, which led to its initial classification to that genus. Eventually, it was moved to its present genus to avoid confusion as even the ''Xylotrupes'' genus from the southeast Asian tropics have a similar form. The male has large horns and is considerably bigger than the female, which has no horns as well.
