Overview[1]
16 (Lvl 2), 22 (Lvl 3), 34 (Lvl 5) The Rhino Beetle is a mob that defends four different fields. It is the blue variant of the Ladybug. This is one of the first mobs a player may encounter, as they are in 2 out of 5 of the Starting Fields (the others being Ladybugs and the possibility of Aphids, Wild Windy Bee, and Rogue Vicious Bee). It takes 5 minutes for a rhino beetle to respawn after being defeated (4 minutes 15 seconds with Gifted Vicious Bee). Defeating it gives 1 Battle Point and about 75 Honey spread across 4 honey tokens. Various other rewards are also possible with their probability increasing with Loot Luck.

Strategies
Rhino beetles behave similarly to most Mobs: it pauses to aim, then lunges. If the player stops to let them aim, then move, it will attack the spot where the Player used to be, not the Player's current location. Some fields have objects that the player can try hiding behind, such as the stalks of Bamboo in the Bamboo Field. The Frozen Field Defenders Glitch works very well against rhino beetles.
Trivia
The respawn timer for a rhino beetle currently counts down from 5 minutes. However, as with most mobs, a rhino beetle doesn't always respawn immediately after its timer runs out. (Usually a 5-10 second delay). Rhino beetles are the most common mob, having five distinct spawning points. It also guards the most fields; being four. There is a mob similar to the rhino beetle called the King Beetle. In fact, King Beetle is a hybrid, made up of a Ladybug and a Rhino beetle, as stated by Onett on Discord. It has the lowest health out of all mobs, with merely 10 health at level 1. This is Onett's favorite mob.
