LOL!! That is actually its name and not my description of it. They are nocturnal and are attracted to lights. It is a wood boring beetle and found mostly on Acacia trees. The larvae possess and enzyme for digesting cellulose. It is fairly large, just over an inch in body length.
Just found one in our room in Grahamstown. This little guy made for some fun procrastinating whilst studying sedimentary geology!
