Thanks Danny

Hi Danny,
Though we have received many photos of the Eastern Hercules Beetle, this is our first of the Western Hercules Beetle or Grant’s Rhinoceros Beetle, Dynastes grantii. The Western Hercules Beetle has a much larger horn on the male, nicely illustrated in your photo. We are also including the image of the female beetle you sent later.
