Bert: Cool! Here are some shots of an unknown beetle seen recently on Savary island up on the Sunshine Coast (July 9). It looks a lot like yours but I'm not up on the subtleties of bug ID so I would never claim that without confirmation from a bug pro. It also looks like it has a fuzzy/hairy underside. They're big too! I'm guessing ours was 1-1/2 inches long. If I knew the gauge of the screen I could be more precise - 17 squares times the square length  . Kevin Nanaimo BC (Day 3!)

I just have to ask - how can you tell male from female?

The males have horns Notice how in the first pic the horns look solid but in the second they look like moose antlers !!  beetle2 by birder.bert, on Flickr |
