The females are quite plain and less frequently seen. The victorious male with the feeding site can then often attract a mate. The horn of the male is not used for protection but rather for the occasional battle with another male over a feeding site. They cannot bite or sting or hurt you with their horns. In spite of their fierce appearance, they are all totally harmless. It is not possible to say what the average life span is because the name rhino beetle refers to about 300 different species of scarab beetles, some live in tropical countries and some live in North America and so the length of their lives varies a lot. Rhino beetles have three instars, that is, they go through three molts before changing into the pupae stage. The larvae, on the other hand, eat a great deal of rotting wood or the compost in which they live. In spite of their size, they do not eat very much. Adults feed on nectar, plant sap and fruit. As with all beetles, the Rhinoceros Beetle larvae (grubs) hatch from eggs and develop into pupae and these eventually develop into adult beetles. Their larval stage is long, several years in some species. If a squeaking beetle is examined closely, the abdomen can be seen moving in time with the squeaks. The hissing squeak is merely a bluff and is produced by rubbing the abdomen against the ends of the wing covers. The fearsome appearance of these beetles is increased by the loud hissing squeaks they give when disturbed. During the day, they hide under logs or in vegetation and are invisible from the few predators big enough to want to eat them. The best protection they have from predators is their usually large size combined with being nocturnal (activity being at night). Using its horns, it can dig its way out of a sticky situation by burying itself underground, escaping danger. Scientists believe that the beetle has become so strong to be able to forage through heavy litter on the jungle floor and dig its way to safety. The male Rhinoceros Beetles use their horns in mating battles against other males. The two horns almost meet and by moving its head the beetle can pinch weakly with them. They have two horns, one on the top of the head and the other projecting forward from the middle of the thorax. Rhino Beetles reach 60 millimetres in length. The Rhinoceros Beetle is aptly named because it has horns on its head, very much like the rhinoceros does. Rhinoceros Beetles are among the largest of beetles in the world.

A 50 kg astronaut, initially at rest, catches the object. Outside the International Sapce Station, a 60 kg astronaut holding a 4.0 kg object (both initially at rest) throws the object at 10 m/s relative to the space station. find the lengths of pieces.Ī drinking straw of length 21 cm is cut into 3 pieces the length of the first piece is x cm the second piece is 3cm shorter than the 1st piece the third piece is twice as long as first piece (a) state in terms of x the length of What is the velocity of the third piece? The vector sum of the momenta of the three pieces must be zero,Ī 38 inch piece of steels is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece, and the third piece is three inches more than four times the length of the first piece. An object at rest explodes into three pieces of equal mass.One moves east at 20.0 m/s,a second moves southeast at 30.0 m/s.
