It certainly is a striking beetle, and your nose-to-nose perspective is terrific.

The design makes those long feelers look fragile. Great shot!

beautiful was one of the first words that came to me too...well....handsome...perhaps intriguing...OK, OK, maybe fascinating...certainly a character though, and so well portrayed..

It's a superb closeup, but you'd never catch my nose anywhere near that beetle! V.
