Used my car keys to give some perspective as to size. This is a 365 project, Dichotomius carolinus or dung beetle. Must have been flying from one pasture to another and dropped dead in my driveway on the way.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I didn't either. I had to Google this photo to find out what it was. It certainly was a curiosity to see this afternoon. @pyrrhula Thanks for saying so Ferry. @Dawn Thanks Dawn. @grammyn Thank you Katy. If I hadn't put the key down it could have looked like a June bug or Japanese beetle sized bug. @onewing I'm glad I saw it after it died. I'd hate for it to fly into my hair! @corinnec Very big! @shutterbug49 It truly is.
I like the inclusion of the word "panic" which may have happened for a moment if that fellow dropped dead in front of me! Then I would have done what you did- taken a shot of it. Good catch- and good idea to include the key for perspective.
