Field Notes

Habitat:

This beetle flew into my daughters bedroom through an open window late at night.

Notes:

Forty-five years ago these beetles were fairly common in this area. This is only the second one I've seen in very many years. As kids we would wedge our fingers between the horns to pick them up.
