Field Notes

Description:

I found this giant beetle while visiting the Amazon jungle in Peru. At night, we turned on a lantern, which attracted all kinds of amazing insects and this was one of them. Our guide said it was endangered. I wish I had taken more pictures of the others now! Please help me identify it.

Habitat:

Rainforest
