ID: Longhorn beetle
A surprise visitor at home, this beauty seemed to have taken our sliding as refuge for taking some rest from the extremely dry summer day. After a while though, by the time I could set up for extreme macro, the hefty beetle seemed to have shifted to my daughter’s chair, which made her pretty happy and more interested in observing its behavior, though the lack of motion by the beetle made her a bit bored. Eventually though could manage some decent shots of the beauty, including this portrait shot. Its interesting to note that the beetle could reach close to 60-65m high(14th floor of the society), making me curious as of what could be the highest height a beetle could fly, and for what distances
