This is one of those rhino beetles. Do you think he is macro worthy? He is on some really worn painted wood. I don't think I'll keep him as a pet.

This big bug would give me the jitters. Excellent detail & I can see how it got it's name. A wonderful example of a macro ... should do well in the contest. Superbly captured, Frank.

Great, you have captured a rhino with your camera :-) I am the last to try if it charges with its sharp horn ...
A very good work. Best luck in the contest!

Heck of a shot, Frank, and a hearty congratulations. That's one big beetle, but I think the shot would have looked even better if you hadn't tried to sign your name on the back of his head.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
