Ol Herkimer, hes definitely a GIANT bug. Hes not as young as he once was but still a very handsome fella on the side of the road. He wont take long to visit but we really loved the stop all the same!

Make no mistake, seeing this glorious beetle will take about 10 seconds. That said, it probably will make for a decent photo op, and you can tell all your friends that you saw the worlds largest beetle. I wish I could get closer, but I have to love from afar.

Came across this insect while looking for a geocache didnt find it unfortunately. Bring bug spray

Herkimer is MAJESTIC af! Theres even a small (8-car sized?) parking area right off Rock Creek Canyon Rd, and a path up to see him.

Cool stop on our journey

Large beetle: checkIts exactly what you think it is.

We didnt go to the museum, we only wanted to see the beetle statue. It didnt disappoint, it was a large beetle statue. Could use a bit of touch up paint, fun none the less.

My best friend and I love this place

Be sure to stop in if nothing else for a selfie with the largest beetle

Neat thing to see. Its a bit run down.

The kids liked that you could get close to the beetle. At first, the 5 year old stopped in his tracks when he came up the hill and saw the giant beetle.

Come see all the insects on display

Definitely not what I thought it would be.

Drive by on 115 and youll see it lol

Hes falling apart. Needs paint and new material. Has closed and no trespassing signs on the fence around him. Can see when driving by on the highway and really thats all you need. You have to drive onto a rocky, jagged parking lot if you want to climb the hill to see him up close. Not worth the risk of flat tire or scraping the bottom of your car or getting ticks as you hike up the grassy hill.

Really neat place to go and learn.

We love camping at the bug museum!

Fun to see!! The first time to find him.

Awesome place

Cool bug. Could use some care.

If you live bugs youll live this place.

Awesomeness

Awesome view to see.

Closed down

Worth the trip!

Total waste of $40.

Cool
