To identify this creature, I used Google and image search, and quickly found out that the insect was Oryctes nasicornis, The European rhinoceros beetle.
Life as it is.

Huge insect (Oryctes nasicornis)
When I saw this beetle walking on the ground, I startled, because it is absolutely the largest insect I have ever seen in Finland. I caught it in a plastic container, to keep it until I got it photographed. I measured the insect, and it was 50 mm long.
