Well, after bringing that BIG huge HORNED bad boy into the house suddenly another beetle appeared ... one that was without horn but was quite large and similar coloring. The male had called in tha' ladies!
Last night, I found a beetle in the Luck Cabin crawling on the floor, a beetle that reminded me of the female rhino beetle from last summer! It looks very similar, if not exactly alike - but I am having a hard time finding a positive ID on this buggie online (ya know cause the internet is saturated with info now to the point of insanity!)

OH darn!
Gratu - you are so good at this it's kinda insane.
Or did you already know this one in your vast bug ID memory bank?
ID memory bank? It's about as extensive as yours, given that I learn about them when you take their pics. Sure, I look up interesting bugs and plants on a regular basis, but thanks to you I look them up more often.
