Behavioral Ethogram

Locomotion	Nocturnal climbing, powerful flight, burrowing; males engage in horn combat
Social	Males highly aggressive toward other males; horn wrestling for territory; tolerant of females
Comfort	Burrowed in substrate or resting under bark during day; feeding at night; metallic sheen visible
Stress/Displacement	Stridulation, defensive posture with horns raised, refusing food, excessive daytime activity
Breed-Specific	Three-horned rhinoceros beetle; metallic green-black coloration; powerful flier; aggressive males; popular in Asian beetle keeping

Vocalization Baseline

Types	Stridulation (squeaking) when disturbed or handled
Frequency Range	1,000-4,000 Hz
Tendency	Low
Primary Modality	Chemical (pheromones); tactile; stridulation defensive
Tail/Body Signals	No tail; triple horn structure unique identifier; elytra metallic sheen indicates health

Behavior Problems

Top Problems	Male-male aggression (horn fighting), powerful escape flights, substrate excavation
Medical Etiology	Lethargy, loss of metallic sheen, mite clusters, inability to right self when flipped
