That's my bent knee under the white fabric (I'm wearing a robe thing). She seems completely comfortable somehow.

I'm assuming it's a female because of the lack of horns - is this some type of stag beetle or Hercules beetle? It's huge! Found on a front porch in South Carolina.

I couldn't resist when I saw the tiny yolk. I was expecting it to be yolkless. In retrospect, I wish I'd used a normal sized fork instead of a tiny fork for the last picture to better show the scale.

Sorry about the vertical pictures.
