In all my years in Florida, I've only seen two of those. They seem like something that should have gone out with the dinosaurs. They are amazingly strong. It's next to impossible to confine one in your hand. Their sharp little feet pull them right out. Great photo!
Hey y'all, Yes, this is in that rhino beetle group. Shame he was dead, I suppose he might have been swatted by some freaked out ice customer at the ice station where I found him.
And Patio, Bear is excellent and really should get a post here soon, doncha think?

That is one bodacious beetle!
Congratulations, you found something I haven't eaten yet and don't think I want to!
Now I know why I don't live in the south, your bugs are way to big for me ;)

Almost as bad as my giant, dive-bombing dragon fly. Heebie...Jeebies...
