Copper and black beetle - Stenelytrana gigas
North of San Antonio Outside loop 1604, Bexar County, Texas, USA

Size: 1.2 inches
Good flight. Grasped tightly with legs as a ?defense mechanism? similar to walking stick. Seemed to enjoy apple or the water it contained.

The Gigas Longhorn
Indubitably Brady. I was telling my daughter it had to be a longhorn. Where else but in Texas would you find a longhorn! Thanks.
