I crawled all over the driveway chasing this creature this morning. He is huge (I'd guess close to 3" long) and quite furry. I don't think he was terribly happy with my attention or when I relocated him to the hydrangea to get a different shot.

Thank ya. Thank ya.

And since I'm such a geek, I had to google and "he" is really a female Eastern Hercules Beetle. Maybe she should consider waxing.

Really cool shot, Fedup! Your pics keep getting better and better!

Did you keep her for bait?

You might get a closeup of a big ole set of catfish whiskers.

I'd need a drill to get that thing on a hook (IF I baited my own anyway.

) But, now that you mention it, she could be the perfect lure for those 5' long catfish I keep hearing about in the Holston. If I caught one of those before my uncle or brother did, they would cry.

A rep to you, Mookster for those fabulous beetle photos! Wonder what you'd get if she mated with Nomadicus's rhino beetle from a few days back?
