Rhinoceros beetles, members of the *Dynastinae* subfamily, are some of the largest beetles in the world and are distinguished by the prominent horn-like structures on their heads, especially in males. Found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, these beetles use their horns to battle other males during mating competition. Despite their intimidating appearance, rhinoceros beetles are harmless to humans, feeding primarily on fruit, nectar, and decaying plant matter.

This replica is produced using a 3D scan of a specimen, cast in durable resin, and painted to highlight the intricate textures and features, such as the beetle’s horned exoskeleton and armored body.
