All I can say is, WOW. I've waited so long for this moment and its exciting. It seems to have some kind of birth defect on its butt that looks like a pigs tail.

Well, it's huge. Hopefully when he emerges he'll put that thing away.

Yep that is normal for the pupa, he should "put it away" when he molts to adult hood. I wonder why other beetle pupa don't have their genitalia sticking out, only these guys....
