t has one horn on its head and four on its thorax, and like other beetles, it is nearly hollow in structure with a good balance between lightness and strength. Another characteristic of this beetle, other than its horns, is its long, slender legs. It is thought that this change was made to make it easier for the beetle to cling to bamboo shoots because its staple food is the sap of bamboo shoots.
