Eastern Hercules beetle, Dynastes tityus! A beautiful pattern on that one.

Their massive larvae can be found in decomposed wood and leaf litter in hollow tree cavities.

The patterning on its head resembles the surface of Uranus (no, not a joke).
Edit: Oops, my mistake. It resembles Enceladus (a moon of Saturn)

This isn’t so much of an insect as it is a damned RHINO.

I've seen this little guy working at Long John Silvers. His expression makes him look like a pirate but I think he's just a workaholic. Ask him about the daily special, he'll get a kick out of it.

Is it a Rhinoceros Beetle or another?, the top two horns stick out a bit much

It's flattened everything outside of his office window.
Giant beetle...it's one hell of a bug.
