I found this beetle on a screen window at my house and I can’t figure out what it is. It’s about 1 1/2” long. Can you help. Thank you. Jim

If you still have this female Hercules beetle, would you be willing to part with it? We found a male locally after searching for a while but we are trying to find a female so we can continue our biology lesson with our kids and hopefully end up with some larvae. We are in Georgia and would be happy to pay to have him sent here (they can make the trip via USPS if packaged properly).
