Monomad : Oryctes rhinocerus beetle
this is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge curated by @monochromes.
while walking casually around the house, suddenly I saw a beetle with a slightly larger size than usual beetles standing on a board, I had never seen a beetle like this before, I approached slowly and took a shot
a little scared, I touched it and put the beetle on the seat of my motorbike, even though it kept moving I tried to take a few random shots
I wanted some good position, I tried to take it again and put it on a piece of wood that was there
because it was too tough, it finally fell and got a little dirty on its fur, this beetle is called Oryctes rhinocerus, This beetle has one horn on its head, its color is black, and its skin is very papery, even though it walks slowly they have strong defense, when it falls to the ground the beetle immediately digs into the ground to hide very quickly and disappears.
Those are some photos that I can share for the #monomad challenge in today's edition, I hope you like them.
