<p>Yesterday we were sitting on a porch and suddenly a wild bug appeared. It was completely black<sup>1</sup> and had no horn etc. It just looked like a common bug without any special features. Okay, nothing special so far, but it was huge! The insect was about 5 cm long. I've never seen such an animal before. Also, the guy was able to fly. After taking a nap on our table he flew away. The flight was a little bit turbulent. It hit every wall, lamp etc. it could find :) </p> <p>Is one able to identify it without any picture and this vague information? This happened in South Germany (Central Europe) around 10:00 P.M..</p> <p><hr></p> <p><strong>Footnotes:</strong></p> <ol> <li>It was completely matt black. Not a single different color or a slightly shining green etc. </li> </ol>
