A little bigger than a quarter.

Wow, that's a big beetle! Does it eat the maturing grapes, or the plant itself?

We had a bunch of those beetles in my yard a few weeks ago that would come out at dusk to mate...large beetle makes for a great feeder

It was munching on the leaves. It flew really well for being so big.
