Sorry, that I have few information about this bug. I photographed it in the south of France. Its movements were very slow. Thanks for helping

European Rhinoceros Beetle
Dear AllenSmithee,
We quickly identified your beetle as European Rhinoceros Beetle, Oryctes nasicornis, on Wikipedia. There are many subspecies mentioned and pictured on the BioLab website. We love your photograph.
