Awesome series spotting. The first close up looks like that of an ant in animation movies. Once one of this beetles got into our house. It was more brightly coloured than this one. I had no idea what it was. It took me a long time to catch it and let it free outside. It have a really hard exoskeleton. From experience its a super strong beetle but not as dangerous as it looks. Thank you so much for sharing Nuwan Chathuranga.
