The dog was barking & my husband was laughing loudly. I went to investigate. 25mm /2" long
this Rhino Beetle kept taking hold of the dogs nose. I finally managed to get them both to calm down while I took some shots.

Nikon Coolpix 4300
1/242s f/2.8 at 8.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Funny scene as I can imagine prior to taking this photo.. :o) great composition of having the shadow appear this photo more artistic.

Great capture!

How funny! I like the way you caught its shadow sprawling beneath it. It looks like it could do some serious lifting!!
