elephant beetle : ウィキペディア英語版 | elephant beetle
The elephant beetle (''Megasoma elephas'') is a member of the family Scarabaeidae and the subfamily Dynastinae. They are Neotropical rhinoceros beetles. ==Appearance==
Elephant beetles are black in color and covered with a coat of fine microscopic hairs. The hairs grow particularly thick on the beetle's elytra. The hairs give the beetle's body a yellowish color. Males have two horns protruding from the head and another from the prothorax. Females have no horns. The horns are used for defense, and in competition among males for food and mates.
