Holy Mother of all Beetles!


Mother of all Beetles!
Originally uploaded by Cape Cod Cyclist.
This bugger appeared to be laying eggs in the remains of a recently ground-up stump in my back yard. I could use help identifying it, as my Audubon Field Guide to North American Insects and Spiders doesn't seem to come close to describing it (unless I missed something). It may look small in the pictures, but I would estimate its size to be in the neighborhood of 1 1/2-2" (38-51 mm).
