Beetlesbeetle question
Hi! I have attached pictures of a beetle I found this weekend at our home in Missouri . It was quite intimidating. I am looking forward to hearing what type of beetle it is. I’ve been told rhinoceros beetle but haven’t seen any with that name that looks like this big fellow.

Hi Marjorie,
This has to be the grand daddy of all Elephant Stag Beetles, Lucanus elephus. He is positively gargantuan. We might be dealing with radiation and a sci-fi movie here.
