Rhinoceros Beetle, Heterogomphus schoenherri (Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae)

Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve, Prov. Pichincha, Ecuador

This female Heterogomphus is probably the largest scarab in the Bellavista cloud forest, but species elsewhere get even larger. Gigantism is common across many dynastine scarab genera.
