Dynastes tityus
2" long beetle.
Semi rural
Landed on my shoulder while I was out looking for moths!
She sure is Adarsha!
Oh..one biggie :)
Thanks Jacob & Alice!
Cool!
Lovely! That's one huge beetle!
Haha, no though she did have a very firm grip on me Benjamin!
I hope you didn't hurt yourself lifting that behemoth!
Thanks Joshua! I was pretty excited to find her too - though actually she found me!
Awesome, I really like him :)
Thanks Lorraine & Cindy!
Awesome, Karen!
Amazing , Love the Third shot!!!
I heard her flying around Tamar, & was watching to see where she landed when she flew over my head & landed on me!Very, Neil!
and aptly named!
I can't even imagine what went through your head when you became the landing pad! I guess she wanted her moment of fame!
It was very exciting Dez! She had quite a grip on me & I still have small red marks on my shoulder where she was clinging on to me!
What a great unexpected encounter! They are few and far between and when it is a big beauty like her... wow that is just so special!! Congrats!
Thanks Jared! She is the biggest beetle I've ever encountered!
Amazing beetle!
