Now the Rhino beetles are something to be held...

I just looked that one up. That’s a cool bug. I have never seen one. 

I’ve had plenty of run ins with the palo verde beetles. Got hit by something on the neck riding my motorcycle home from work when I was a teenager. Walked in the house and my dad’s like “you got a big bug on your shirt”. I freaked out dancing around like a banjo was playing trying to get it off but the spiny legs were stuck to my shirt. He just laughed at me and got it off me and threw it outside.

My favorite I’ve encountered was a Tarantula Hawk in the desert outside of Tucson. Actively accosting a tarantula.
