The Toymany Five-horned Rhinoceros Beetle features bold sculpting, realistic texture, and durable construction for hands-on insect exploration.
The Toymany Five-horned Rhinoceros Beetle measures: 3.1” L x 1.6” W x 1.1” H
The Toymany Five-horned Rhinoceros Beetle figurine accurately represents the species’ distinctive horn structure, with a large forward-curving head horn and additional thoracic projections that define its aggressive profile. The body features a dark brown, slightly glossy finish that reflects the hardened look of a real beetle’s exoskeleton. Clear segmentation across the abdomen and thorax gives the model anatomical credibility, while the legs are shaped and spaced to support a stable, natural stance.
Fine surface texturing along the shell and limbs adds depth without exaggeration. The sculpted ridges and contours reinforce the armored appearance typical of rhinoceros beetles. Made from durable, solid material, the figure holds up well to handling, making it suitable for both educational use and insect collections.
The Five-horned Rhinoceros Beetle, commonly known as Eupatorus gracilicornis, is native to parts of Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Vietnam, and surrounding regions. Males are known for their dramatic horn arrangement: one long horn projecting from the head and four shorter horns on the thorax. These horns are used in combat with other males, primarily to compete for access to females. Adults are typically active at night and are attracted to tree sap, fruit, and lights.
Like other rhinoceros beetles in the subfamily Dynastinae, they undergo complete metamorphosis: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The larvae live in decaying wood or soil rich in organic matter, where they feed and grow before pupating. Despite their formidable appearance, adult five-horned rhinoceros beetles are harmless to humans and do not bite or sting.
