Can Anyone Give Me a Positive ID? - Strategus antaeus
Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida, USA
June 3, 2008
Size: 1.25-1.5"
Moving slightly slow. I found him outside the main library in Vero Beach, on the pavement. After photographing it, I shuffled him off to under the bushes, so no one would harm him.

Thank You
Thanks for the id. After you gave me Strategus antaeus, I looked it up online, and I think you are correct.

Awesome images.
Awesome images of a real "trophy" male:-) Strategus is the genus to be sure. Please continue sharing your images here.
