Dynastes tityus Eastern Hercules Beetle (Adult Male)

This is the first showing of my Dynastes tityus Eastern Hercules Beetle (Adult Male). He's been inactive until the other week, when he started coming out to feed every evening :D I've since put him with the female, but not before taking the opportunity to have a good look at the handsome brute, and getting a short video :) Enjoy! ~Mitch.

That is an extremely impressive male, it almost looks like a granti!

hi andrew , i was wondering which cameras you use for mantid close ups , great video :)

[@UnseenUniverse_Mitch]

Hi Tyler, thanks for that :)
So in the past i've always used a Nikon D3200 camera, with the Nikkor 105mm macro lens (sometimes with the Raynox-150 or -250 macro attacment on that for extra magnification. But i've since just switched to Canon 6D, so i can utilise the MPE-65mm Macro 1-5x lens :D
This video was actually shot using the standard camera iPhone 6S. Not bad for a phone ha ha.... ~Mitch.
