The biggest beetle I have ever seen!

At work today, Jessica left her kids class yelling something along the lines of "OHMYGODTHEY'VEGOTSOMEKINDAFRIKKIN'BEETLEFROMHELLINHERE!!", so naturally I went to investigate... lo and behold, one of the kids in my subsequent class had a Kabuto Mushi beetle crawling on his arm.

Now, I've seen some big insects (big for England that is), but this was something else... "here, hold him, sensei!" they pleaded. No. Way.

The little devils then tried to smuggle him into the class, but they hadn't reckoned on Super Saki, staff member par excellence, to save the day and insist the little stomper was put back in his glass tank...
