Hey Guys,

Found this guy in the Matara region of Sri Lanka on the southern coast. Any thoughts on an ID? Sorry the pic is not so good! If needed, I can see if my friend has a better one.



Thanks!
Karen

This is 100% Dynastidae beetle, probably genus Oryctes (there are few widespread species, one of the commonest is O. nasicornis).
