So, as not to forget the beetle enthusiasts which
we do have here I post this picture of a marvelous
Prionid that I personally found and captured in
Ecuador 1988.

Actually found this large fellow walking about the
grounds of Tinalandia lodge one evening after 10pm.
He is a little over 3 in. long and was the only one
I encountered.

It appears to be a member of the genus Mallodon, though I'm not sure of the species -

Wow, thank you very much livingplanet3 for that ID.
Definitely the genus so I'm quite happy with that and now I can make a label for it.
