I live in the normally rainy city of Portland, Oregon . The one perk to living in such a rainy climate is the lack of giant bugs and dangerous snakes (for the most part at least), but the other day while visiting my parents home out in the country I was amazed by two bugs I saw. Both were on their front door and both were giant!
The first one was a giant moth
This moth was about the same size as a hummingbird. I honestly had no idea there were moths this size in Oregon.
Even more freaky, in my opinion at least, was the second bug which was on the screen door just beneath the giant moth.
A GIANT beetle! I have seriously never seen a beetle this big in person!
I am 24 years old and have lived my whole life basically in Oregon and have never seen bugs this size! So I am wondering why two in one day!? Are these common? AND if they are why haven't I seen bugs this size before?? I tried to google the descriptions of these bugs but was unable to pinpoint a specific species. For now it will remain a mystery! =)
