I have no idea what it was, but it’s the largest beetle I’ve seen in a while. I’m glad I got a photo of it! If you know what it is

I found this same beetle last night on my porch and it has to be the UGLIEST insect I have seen yet! It measure about 2 inches long and its GROSS! I captured it in a plastic jar and left it on the porch and I could hear it moving around in there~my skin crawls just thinking about it! YUCKKKKK!

Well, I dont usually call things ugly, but when I saw a Giant water bug in my town I was quite freaked and I think it was more scary looking than anything, and HUGE about 2 1/2 inches long! they can also give a nasty bite as I found out after identifying it...
Excerpt from wikipedia...
They are fierce predators which stalk, capture and feed on aquatic crustaceans, fish and amphibians. They inject a powerful digestive saliva with their mouthparts, and suck out the liquefied remains. Their bite is, not surprisingly, widely considered the most painful that can be inflicted by any insect (the infamous Schmidt Sting Pain Index excludes insects other than Hymenoptera; a belostomatid bite can be much more excruciating than anything in Schmidt's list); the longer the bug is allowed to inject its saliva, the worse the resulting bite, and as the saliva liquefies muscle tissue, it can do serious permanent damage.

attempt to diminish off the needs they want to stay. spiders to illustrate want to eat flys and mosquitoes, in case you eliminate those out of your homestead and ruin spider webs once you word them then presently after spiders isn't in a position to stay there. roaches dinner party on crumbs and different nutrients dropings once back eliminate that and they're going to presently die. best of success I hate insects too, i'm a guy yet i actually face a set of adult men with guns than insects.. :-)

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. It depends on what you mean by ugly. There are many types of ugly. Ugly temperments, ugly looks, ugly minds, ugly feet, ugly butts, ugly antennae, ugly eyes, ugly mandibles, ugly bodies, ugly colored insects, etc.
