Thanks. This is a very rare import that came in from a collector in Europe. They are said to live in and around one specific cacti pinned to a bulliten board in a Madagascan classroom and no where else. I think the unofficial name is Gromphadorhina superflattensis.
But seriously, how about seeing some photos of G.portentosa that you guys have? I know there are some good ones out there.....
