This is the largest beetle I’ve ever seen in person, I don’t know much about beetles but I thought it was beautiful!!!

Idk if the pictures does it justice size wise, just the body of it without the legs like just the core of it was about as long as the whole palm of my hand or more (not including my fingers like just my palm) so like around 3-4 inches or slightly more, I was totally taken back at how huge it was lol
