Shot this video just for Jay Dedman, who likes bugs. While I was at the Transmission Asia-Pacific conference in Indonesia, this big beetle decided he wanted his own umbrella after a brief bout of rain (it’s supposed to be the dry season after all). Excuse the quality – iPhones aren’t good at closeups.

That is one big bug. I mean you could have that guy for lunch!
What a bug! Did you get any other wonderful things from Indonesia?

That’s one crazy rhinoceros beetle. Welcome back to Phx.
So big they carry their own umbrellas. Jay will be jealous.
That’s one big bug…….Yuck…..
When I lived in Japan I found one of those outside my apartment. My first reaction was “fuck!”, my second “FUCK!”, them “arrrgggghhh,” and finally “…cool!” Kids in Japan keep this type of beetle as pets. I wonder what English kids would say if you presented them with a hugh beetle instead of a hamster.
huge, not hugh. Obviously.
next time…touch the bug.
