Hercules Beetle

This beautifull fellow is an eastern hercules beetle.
He is a male- you can tell by the horns. They are the largest beetle in the US. I thought he was quite large, but after doing some research he was a medium sized beetle. They can grow to be over 2 inches long.

I found him at the grocery store. I don't know why I find so many bugs there. Some kids riding around on the buggies in the parking lot told me that he flew into the light and fell down. Apparently, he was very loud when he fell.
