So last night I was in the garage working. This gigantic monster wandered in and needless to say, I was in awe of its enormity...
This gigantic beetle is what is known as a Pine Sawyer.
This bug was at least 3 inches long, and if you count the antlers, quite a bit longer. It was slow, and seemed
to be basically harmless, although it did have a rather menacing pair of mandibles that look like they
might be able to pinch pretty good.
I cannot believe this insect could have survived evolution, as it could not right itself once turned over.
But then again, flat concrete patios are not really its natural habitat.
I took about 65 photos of it, and some video before letting it go. This is by far and away the largest
live bug I have ever come across. So big and disgusting looking, it even inspired some art. :)
