Big beetles!

I mentioned in another post about some of the interesting insects that appear during rainy season so when I saw one of the big beetles (albeit dead) I was anxious to take a picture so people could see just how big they are!

Sometimes these things literally fall out of the sky and land on you and believe me - it'll make you jump!!

I used my mobile to give an idea of size!

    That is either a big beetle or a small mobile phone.
    I suppose if they're not harmful they're not as bad as other creepy crawlies, At least you can't miss them.
