I found this bug in the deck, caught it and took some pictures and let it go.
When I was a little boy, the Rhinoceros beetle was my unicorn bug.
I wonder if this is a female of the kind.
I don't normally take pictures of bugs, but I thought it was worth taking some pictures. So I put it on a table and took some pictures. If you know what this bug is, please let me know.
I kept it for less than 10 min.
I felt like I was 7 again
