Too large for macro, overall

But I will send a few macros of bits and pieces later. These were in my laundry area. Kept lit at night ( hint to collecting technique). Prionus imbricornis, female. Pseudolucanus capreolus, male. Taken on iPad. Bill

Now that's what I would call a "Big-O-Bug"..! Are these native to where you live?

That is most definitely something that you WILL NOT find in our washroom. Wife has an aversion to anything with 6 legs.

They are, and somewhat common. Native to you,too. These can draw blood, strong. Carpe insectum, curo cum applies here. Bill

No. Nearly dead. Will become display specimens. I really do not kill them anymore unless it seems fit. Like old,no food, etc. Have pinned 1000's I collected. Killer instinct gone. Bill . And have cameras now. Bill
