Field Notes
Description:
Definitely not 100% on my ID. Anyone with a correction will be hugely appreciated! [UPDATE... thanks Whatsthatbug.com for the correction!)
Large shiny almost deep reddish-brown- black beetle. About 2" long. Formidable mandibles which it seemed more than willing to use. Long antennae.. Each perhaps 1 inch long.
Discovered upside down in the middle of the hallway at the Science center where I work.
Habitat:
In the middle of the city! Although there is a large park right outside the door, with a pond and several magnificent old Live Oak trees and other ornamental trees and plantings.
