Bug

I found this bug on the sand while I was going for a walk on the beach. It just looked black to me, but when I photographed this on a wooden bench, it seemed to pick up the late afternoon sun glow. My insect app tells me that it is a Rhinoceros beetle.

I thought a rhinoceros beetle would have a big horn on its front. But its a lovely beetle.

[Merrelyn]

It has certainly picked up golden highlights.

@pusspup I would have thought so too. The apps certainly aren't infallible.
