Re: Rhinocerous beetle
If you look closely you can see the horn on this one. We came across quite a few of them whilst living in Kenya, usually after the rains, but this is the first one I have seen here in Spain. This fellow was on his back at the side of the pool, I flipped him over and he crawled underneath a large plantpot, probably still there, I haven't looked.

Re: Rhinocerous beetle
In my garden at the moment we have lots of a flying Beetle. I had to look it up and its called the Tooth Necked Fungus Beetle. Cant remember as many in other years. Not seen a lot of Ladybirds this year but probably because it was wet last year and cold this Winter.I remember seeing a Stag Beetle when younger as we lived near a large field. It was a magnificent thing and really tough looking. He had been in a fight as he had a big chunk out of his casing on the back. Never seen a Rhinoceros Beetle.

...they remind me of flying cockroaches and make me shudder
I had one in the hall one night and had to leave the front door open and hide until it had gone.
