The rhinoceros beetle is an insect from the Coleoptera order. It is considered to be the only member of the Dynastidae family in Poland. As the name itself suggests, its characteristic feature is a large outgrowth, which resembles the horn of a rhinoceros. This specimen was obtained from the Kazimierz Landscape Park in 2015.
