Paracotalpa granicollis
3/4 " long
I have a phobia for beetles so you don't know how much strength it took to let
this thing almost land on me. I moved slightly and he landed on a rock.
First time I've ever seen one before--quite a handsome beetle. Looks like
he has little arms and hands coming off his head. Taken at
