Double pitchfork rhinoceros beetleDouble-forked rhinoceros beetle, also known as rhinoceros beetle, belonged to the Scarabaeid family, rhinoceros beetle. There are ten subspecies, large, 3.5 - 6 cm long (excluding the horns on the head), 1.8 - 3.8 cm wide, long oval body, arched back, color is chestnut brown to dark brown or black. The head was small, with 10 antennae, and the gills were made up of 3 sections. There were three pairs of powerful legs, and a pair of sharp claws at the end.
The two-pronged rhinoceros beetles were widely distributed in Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, India, Thailand, and China. They mostly lived in dense forests in low and medium-altitude mountains, and were commonly found in broad-leaved forests in tropical and tropical mountains.
The adult male Double-Forked Rhinoceros Beetle had great ornamental value and was often kept as a pet. Its specimens and crafts had high collection value. In Korea, its larvae are listed as food insects by the Food and Drug Administration. It also had the potential to deal with biological waste (such as straw, dead branches and leaves, etc.), but it was an important pest in poplar, oak, apricot, peach, chestnut, and pear trees. It could be controlled through chemical, physical, and agricultural measures.
The adults reproduce in large numbers from June to August, giving birth to one generation a year and living for about one month. The larvae feed on the humus formed by rotten leaf soil or rotten wood. The adults have a variety of feeding habits. They like to eat the sap of the wounds of Fagacea plants such as Oak, fruits such as apples, and the tender shoots and leaves of mulberry and elm. The adults were mainly distributed in Central China, South China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, and the Korean Peninsula. They were common species. The larvae were commonly known as "grubs" and "mother hen worms." They were plump and could grow up to about 10cm. Their heads were hard and had chewing mouthparts. Their single eyes were degenerate, and their bodies were soft and often curved in a C shape. There were nine pairs of spiracles on both sides, sparse hairs on the surface of their bodies, and six short limbs. Female larvae were smaller than males, and could be distinguished from their peak weight and abdominal characteristics during the L3 stage. The two-pronged rhinoceros beetles were mostly active at night. Their life cycle was about one year, the larva stage was about 8 - 10 months, and the adult life span was about two to three months.
