Hi, First of all I have to say that, I'm just a Beetle lover freak. Then I'll say it depends on, because every species have a specific scientific name and there are some common names for famous families, subfamilies, species or something and so on, like rhinoceros beetles or rhino beetle. ---- Actually according to some references The rhinoceros beetles are a subfamily (Dynastinae) of beetles in the family of scarab beetles (Scarabaeidae) [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoceros_beetle], and as far as I know, there's a Well-known species of rhino beetles with the popular name of "European Rhinoceros Beetle" and its scientific name is (Oryctes nasicornis), a large flying beetle (6 cm) [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Rhinoceros_Beetle], as a matter of fact "that species (Oryctes nasicornis) maniacally looks like a rhinoceros" and I think that's why its common name is "Rhinoceros Beetle" And Go to see this pichttp://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/enlarge/rhinoceros-beetle-record.html ...If it is meant to.
