Hardwood Stump Borer Beetle

Mallodon dasystomus

Description:

Black almost 2 inches pinchers. Split back with what looked like shiny black guitar pick coming out his prehistoric shell.

Notes:

I had an awesome avatar moment. Imagine if I was scaled down and this guy comes up from underneath the earth at your feet. A vicious battle ensues until I subdue the creature I grab a hold his antanae and we ride into the sunset. The End
