Head pic is not Ox Beetle

[edit]

The head pic is not Ox beetle , but it's Osmoderma scabra - family Trichiinae (ref: 1)

Requested move

Ox beetleStrategus aloeus — Standardizing to the scientific name. Ox beetle is not particularly well known as a common name, and the page is small enough currently that it will not shake things up too much to put it under the scientific name. This will also help interwiking. According to the above comment, the page has had the wrong beetle image for some time now, which would seem to indicate that ox beetle is more generally applied to a large dark Scarabaeidae, and the scientific name would be more appropriate. — Kugamazog (talk) 21:23, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
