This individual came to the area around our light trap one night, and looked quite aggressive and formidably armed with those prominent mandibles, so I treated it with respect, photographed it and used one of my collecting pots to evict it over the balcony edge. Thankfully, it didn't return after departure as if it had got in the light trap, it could have created destruction on the captive moths resting there. We have had many predators come to our trap, and can often find that the trap becomes a free "lunch-box" for them if they get inside. We have, in the past deported Gekkos, Praying Mantis's, and other beetles, all of which can cause loss of records, if not removed quickly.
