This dude got caught in a fly screen trying to get in to my room. Pretty lame episode of Miises' Menagerie but I've never seen a beetle grow this big.

Re: Big-ass beetle
When you got really close, his shell looked like it was made of wood. Pretty cool.

Oh cool, he is using a coin as a size reference... I have no idea how big that coin is.

Re: Big-ass beetle
USD 25¢ coin = 24.26 mm diameter
AUD 50¢ coin = 31.65 mm diameter
the beetle was probably ~7cm or 2.75 inches.

Re: Big-ass beetle
Further research shows a US 50 cent piece is 30.61 mm. So your coin is slightly bigger than that. GIANT ASS BEETLE.Miises wrote:USD 25¢ coin = 24.26 mm diameter
