This is the giant (goliath?) beetle that attacked me one night just after my shower. The bathroom at this cabina was open air. When it rained, you got wet. When this giant bug flew in, I had to dodge him...naked.

This guy scared the pants off me...or would have, had I been wearing pants. Did anyone get to view the video of the "open air bathroom" movie? Yeah, well, I was taking a shower, and guess who flies in. No, not a griffin. Yep, you guessed it, this goliath beetle. His body was approximately 2 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 1 inch tall. (This does not include his legs, or wingspan, people, he was a huge bug!) Anyway, I was so scared, and I had to keep dodging him, and at one point I threw my towel at him, and trapped him. But he crawled out from the wet towel! Then I was completely defenseless! Anyways, he flew into a cup on the sink, which I promptly flipped over and trapped him. Then we took his picture. Anyone want to name him?
