EN: rhinoceros beetle
This is that big, black, shiny beetle with a horn that looks like it's ready for a medieval joust. Kids in the province sometimes catch them, tie a string to them, and make them fight. It's the 'bodybuilder' of the beetle world. Not to be confused with 'uwang', which can be a more general term for any large beetle.
