In the book Rhinoceros Beetles to the Rescure, by Linda Hartley, a rhinoceros beetle is shown fighting for its food.

 

The rhinoceros beetle is named for the horns that are found on its head. Adult rhinoceros beetles like to eat rotting fruit and sap from trees. Rhinoceros beetles could be the strongest creatures on earth. They can carry 850 times theri own weight. That would be the same as a person lifting 76 cars at the same time!!
