Was leaving work the other morning when I found this Rino bug outside the door. Seems he didn't make it but I still thought he was an interesting bug so I had to share
He is an awesome bug, but he looks like he would bite or pinch or something. You or whoever was braver than I would have been to hold it! Wonderful catch!
Artist Reply: They don't have big mouths they just have claws sort of the grep with but yes they are impressive thanks so very much
Artist Reply: Hey Jan you are welcome I thought it was such an interesting bug that I wanted to share with all at AW thanks for checking it out

what do rino bugs eat ? And can you keep them as pets?
Artist Reply: Hey I am not sure what they eat I have seen a few but never seen what they eat. I guess you can make anything a pet if you want too I don't know if I would but maybe it would be cool I have had some strange things for pets at times when I was a kid so I guess it would be worth a try. Thanks for checking it out
I have not seen one of those yet on our bug hunting....What a cool bug
Artist Reply: I have heard of them and seen them in books but this is the first one in real life to see they are such a cool bug thank you so much Renata
Where do you live and what the hell is a rhino bug.
Great shot!!
Artist Reply: I live in the very deepest part of Southern IL. Very TIP and I am not sure what he is I have been told Rino But I am not really sure but hey thank you for checking him out
Artist Reply: You know if it was alive I for sure wouldn't have put it in/on my hand but being dead it wouldn't do to much thanks for your comment and checking it out
WOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS CALLED? IS IT REALY RHINO?
Artist Reply: I do belive that is its name, I have heard people call them that not really positive but wow indeed they are such an awesome bug. I hate that he/she died but what a find for my part thanks for checking it out
