Hello

Can someone identify this rhino beatle I met in Batutumonga, Tana Toraja, 1800m, Sulawesi in Jan 2011.

It was about 12 cm long. It crashed on a wall during the night, I heard a big noise and found him knocked out.

Thanks
Olivier

And daytime, interesting butterflies! Batatutumonga a very nice place!
