The Moellenkampi beetle (Chalcosoma moellenkampi), is one of four large species of rhinoceros beetles from Southeast Asia belonging to the genus Chalcosoma.[1] The Moellenkampi beetles belong to the beetle family Scarabaeidae along with other rhinoceros beetles. They are characterized by having two large, forward-projecting horns on the pronotum or thorax, and another large, forward and upward-projecting horn on the head. They also have a distinct metallic lustre, which is the reason behind their genus name, which derives from Greek, chalko-, and is the combining form of chalkós, meaning copper.[2]
