Pretty buff looking dudes............ I get a kick out of some of the things nature throws out there, I have seen some of these guys in the past but this summer.......they are out in numbers!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little Creek Calls Report post Posted August 24, 2016 Looks like you can sell them on ebay but they are "dead, dried and clean". your beetles are eastern hercules rhinoceros horned beetle. If you do keep them as pets adult males can live 2-3 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
