My girlfriend found this late at night in Connecticut. Never even knew we had these here to be honest. Pretty pumped on it and I think it's the best find yet for us. Xyloryctes jamaicensis.
Best find thus far... rhino beetle!

Good findings! It is always excite to know there is something in your town. I have quite number of dead Xyloryctes thestalus in alcohol. If you can collect couple adult pairs, would you be willing to trade with me? I'm located in Louisiana, and have no access to find them anywhere nearby. X. thestaulus I have are personal collections from Arizona, last year.
I ended up releasing him in the same spot hoping he finds a mate.
Cool beetle!!

Man I thought this was recent until I saw the date. I have a female, seems very rare to find in my area so I doubt I will find a male. I thought I was going to be able to pair but saw this is old! Too bad!
