Can you hum me a few bars?

Check Beth's thread about the toe-biters. She had a link to bug sites.

First I thought of Lucanus servus (http://www.inra.fr/Internet/Hebergement/OPIE-Insectes/observatoire/coleos/scarab/l_cervus.htm), European stag beetle, but then I found this (http://www.thais.it/entomologia/coleotteri/schede/sc_00030_uk.htm), Giant Ground Beetle.

Holy shit, I'd be selling my house mighty quick if that thing came anywhere near it.

I wonder if David saw any of those costa rican bugs when he was there. Damn.

I'm getting out of this thread now because the back of my neck is tingling.
