Cool Ox Beetle
I have seen many pictures of male ox beetles like yours, and hardly any of females, though I have found three ox beetles that were female, and ZERO that were males. Funny how that happens, isn't it?

Sorry to be replying oh, 13 y
Sorry to be replying oh, 13 years late! It is odd how it happens sometimes. I find mostly females and/or minor males. I believe major males are out earlier in the season.
