Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Yep, that's what it is.
My boss has a dead one on his desk that he found in his driveway...looks a bit different than the pic, but I'm sure we have different versions here in Missouri than what Rich has crawling around down in Florida.
Neat little boogers.

Yup it.s a rhino , a male at that. The females look just like the males only without the horns.
I find a lot of those in the summer in Ft. Pierce.
Put two male together with a female nearby and watch the combat.

Acutally, one of the larger species of rhino beetles is a US native. Dynastes granti Here's a photo link. http://www.goldenphoenixexotica.com/dgranti2.JPG
Golden Phoenix Exotica http://www.goldenphoenixexotica.com is the only invert dealer I know of that sells the beetles. He doesn't have any available right now though.
That's a great looking rhino btw, I didn't think we had ones that are brightly colored in the US.
