What is a "stag beetle"?
A stag beetle is a large and charismatic insect belonging to the family Lucanidae. Known for its impressive size and distinct mandibles resembling the antlers of a stag, this beetle has a striking appearance. Stag beetles are often considered iconic insects due to their unique features and fascinating behavior.
