User's notes

Here is the remains of rhino beetles eaten by crows at Peregian Beach. They have removed the heads and then eaten the contents and eaten the abdomen. Total of 7 beetles and 6 crows. A real murder of crows.

Awesome sighting (but quite sad!).

I tried to suggest Xylotrupes ulysses australicus, Rhinoceros Beetle, but I got an error and the suggestion failed.
