Big black beetle!

[Shrimp]

Found this wandering around the mirror in the van, then got itself hooked in a spider web so I had to save it!
Think it’s a Longhorn Beetle, it wasn’t too happy about being on my hand but I had to get the web off it so it could fly as the web was round its wing casing, it flew off without even a thanks!

Is it Lennon or McCartney?

Well done. I would have ran a mile and left hubby to sort it

Well done setting it free

Longhorn or Pallo Verde beetles are harmless, you can feel their feet gripping your skin very slightly but the don’t sting nor bite.
Fantastic looking beetle.
