edit: We now know what she is. I'll try my best to keep her alive until she dies naturally. She is a Rhinoceros Beetle
I found this beetle outside of work. He was walking slowly, and I found out that two of his legs are broken. I don't really like bugs, but I can't just put him outside knowing that he will die. I need to know what to feed him, and his species. I tried to identify him, but there are like a million kinds of beetle. I need to get him the right food so he won't starve. If you can't help, maybe you know someone who could?

thanks to
runninggrass I found the species, but it says not much is known about what they eat. >_> I'll just give it a lot of options

Hey, thanks so much for trying to help.
Runninggrass found it, though, so we can stop frantically searching. x3

Happy to help when I can..
take a clean non-print paper towel and moisten it with water..
Take a few empty TP rolls and out it in there with him.
Gives him water and a place to hide. If there is a university that has a "bug" department" talk to them and see if he can retire in to there care.

You think that is big,
You should see a male, monster beetles. Strong to (for their size), some what common this time of year. I'd give advice though I believe others have already done so, and I am no expert.
I will say this, either spray water mist over the area where you are keeping her, or place a damp (clean) rag or paper towel in with her, and change it out daily. Bugs need water too.
Good luck. *Grin*
