Maybe because of the bright light, these beetles come and enter the house at night. This fairly large brown beetle has 3 pairs of legs with hard grips because the legs of this type of beetle have spines for gripping.
It is called a horn beetle because it has horn-like protrusions on its head. When touched, horn beetles make a hissing sound. This is a type of beetle that is a pest on oil palm or palm plants.
