Today I found a new pet, the rhino beetle! I've seen these beetles land on Blk 426 a few times before, since its a hilly forest just across the road from here. I dunno why they like to fly here. Many buggies love to end up in Blk 426. Coolest so far are the praying mantises and the rhino beetles. Pretty moths are also not a rare sight. I so love my home. Anway today is the first time I am keeping this cute beetle! Now its happily settled in a small container with soil, twigs, longan, a piece of apple, and water. Okay maybe its not so happy since its hanging on the cover right now finding a way out? Anyway some pictures of it from my not so great phone camera.
Found it on the floor...
Closer look.
As if a greeting from him.
A wee bit clumsy, and cant seem to flip himself over.
Moved it to a plant
Taken with flash now. Very beautiful creature!
Dusty back...
Nice horns.
Front view
New home!
Happily munching on my longans
And now its struggling to get out! Since its so strong, able to carry things 250 times its own weight, lets see him lift up the lid.
