I caught this beetle last night, under a streetlight. I thought /an/ would appreciate it.

The beetle was released after I took the picture.

Apparently. We don't quite know what to do unless you:

A) Ask what kind of beetle it is, then declare we are wrong after conclusive proof as to the creatures species.
B) Comment about a meme or post a macro
C) Make some kind of penis joke
D) Ask for name suggestions

Hey shuddup, I appreciate every bug posted.
I'd say that's a female stag beetle.
I shall name it: "Turd".
There, just to follow the rules.

It's a scarab. Female. Probably a Heterogomphus rugicollis, a variety of rhinoceros beetles.

Attached is a male Heterogomphus rugicollis for reference.

And a female for good measure.

Nice site for photographs, but none of the H. rugicollis.

OP here.

I know what june bugs are, and this beetle is definatley NOT one. It is several times larger than any june bug I have ever seen. At least in our area, june bugs are more of a "rust" or orange color. They are also tiny in comparision to this monster! I could fit 3 of our june bugs on that quarter. Notice that the beetle is just as wide as the quarter but about twice as long!

Yup, it's a scarab.
It looks kinda like>>136043said.
June bugs (technically what we call june bugs around here are May beetles) are definitely not that big.
