Dynastes tityus
They never bit me, but their legs are strong and the claws catch your skin a lot. Kinda hard to get them to let go sometimes.
I normally don't care for beetles much, but this one looks so special. Reminds me of Dim from Bug's Life. Do they bite? I have never seen one in person before. Awesome find!
