Discover the power and beauty of the Rhinoceros Beetle (Oryctes sp.), a fascinating exotic insect found in the lush moss-covered tree trunks of Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve. With its impressive horn and powerful legs, this beetle is a force to be reckoned with in the forest ecosystem. In this captivating image (Picture No. 10878335), the Rhinoceros Beetle is seen in its natural habitat, surrounded by the vibrant greens of the reserve. The Rhinoceros Beetle is not the only exotic creature that calls Tangjiahe home. The European Rhinoceros Beetle (Oryctes nasicornis), with its distinctive markings, can also be found in some parts of Europe, as shown in Picture No. 10896231. But the wonders of Tangjiahe don't stop there. The reserve is also home to the European Orchard Bee (Osmia cornifrons), a vital pollinator for many fruit trees. The Rhinoceros Beetle and the European Orchard Bee, though different in size and appearance, play essential roles in maintaining the balance of nature in their respective habitats. Join us as we continue to explore the diverse and intriguing world of exotic beetles and the important ecosystems they call home.
