Huge Black Beetle – Broad Necked Root Borer

You are going to love this. It’s a video of a huge black beetle we found while walking down the sidewalk yesterday. I wrote about the same type of beetle last year and even got some pictures, (which I’ll post here too). The good thing about this year is that I got some video.

People tell me this is called a “Broad Necked Root Borer.” I like to simply call it a huge black beetle, or more affectionately known as “King Charlie.” Location: Connecticut.
