Thanks to Courtney for sending: “I think (from the help coworkers) might be a Hercules beetle in dc??? Dupont Circle specifically.”
Yesterday someone else also tweeted us a beetle but I think it was just a regular stag beetle. Is there an entomologist in the house who can identify this one?!?

Meet the enthusiastic, quirky Smokey! He’s already set on running for mayor in DC — Smokey is very outgoing and friendly and loves to say hi to everyone. While he learns to greet everyone in a calm way, he may be best suitable for a home with just adults or older children. Smokey is also learning very quickly on his words, and already knows “sit,” “shake,” and “down”! As a big food-motivated dog, he’s sure to learn more words in no time. When he’s not acting as the neighborhood greeter, Smokey loves to cuddle with his foster human or play with his toys. Apply today!
