Can rhino beetles fly
Their large size and heavy bodies make their flight slower and less agile compared to smaller insects, but they are capable of flying to find food, mates, or new habitats.
Scientific studies have even demonstrated controlled flight behavior in rhinoceros beetles through electrical stimulation of their nervous system, showing their ability to initiate, steer, and stop flight.
