Quite a good sized beetle! Interesting behaviors. Thank you for sharing!

I think they are a little ugly, but still fascinating.

[@Mynaturefindings]

These beetles are very important in the ecosystem. I hope their population make a speedy increase soon.

[@ObservingNature]

I hope so too.

Interesting. However, I think I'm glad we don't have that bug here in Florida.

[@ObservingNature]

I understand. They are one of those bugs that aren't pleasant to think about.

[@sherry2836]

Ew.

[@ObservingNature]

Lol, yep.
