Hercules Beetle in Alpharetta GA
Saw this Hercules Beetle on my front door step the other morning. I have never seen one before and thought you might be able to use a clear picture of his back. When I gently urged him off the door step (so my wife and son would not accidentally step on him) he was noticeably hard to move and had a great grip on the door frame. Have no fear I got him to safety and haven’t seen him since. Great website.
