Are these beetles common in the ACT? I've not encountered one here
before. This one was trundling across Brindabella Road out near the Blue
Range Road turnoff. When I stopped my bike to take a photo, it decided
to hitch a ride on my wheel rim. It had a surprisingly strong grip on
the aluminium of the rim when I removed it in order to continue my ride.
