Geocache Description:

This is a park-n-grab micro off of E Commerce St in Webster. 


Many children in Japan buy or catch rhinoceros beetles and breed them. Male and female insects will cost an equivalent to approximately five to ten US dollars. This beetle is sold as a pet in department stores in many countries of Asia where it is also frequently depicted in popular media as a common cartoon character for various uses in advertisements and product labels. Japanese rhinoceros beetles are a very popular subject in gambling. In the most popular game, two different male beetles are placed on a log. They will battle each other, trying to push each other off the log, the one to stay on the log is the winner. The males are much larger than the females, reaching a length of 1 ½ to 3 inches. The beetle you are looking for is huge. He is 6 inches in length.
