HUNTINGMAN Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii230/heatherjbrown2/086306f6.jpg[/img]"]http:// Holy cow what a big beetle. My Forman brought this in last night and laid it on my desk and ask what it was,he and myself had never seen a beetle this big before. This thing was mean looking and about. 3" long or longer. He was a neat creature, I looked it up on the net and found it was a Hercules beetle,also called a rhinoceros beetle. After enjoying him and finding out his identity we took him back out and let him go. Tboughti would share something have never seen before.

Jeramie Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 We have Rhino Beetles around here quite a bit. They get huge! They can pinch though.. Keep your fingers away from that end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Givan Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Ive seen them around before, but not real often. Never seen one that color, the ones I have seen were usually black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Wow! We have water beetles up here, they're black and probably a good 3" long. One of the other techs at works hates insects, who is also a joker. When we find dead ones we'll set them on top of this toolbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
