Stag Beetle facts:

The Scientific Name of the Stag beetle is Lucanus cervus. The jaws of a Stag are big and strong and they look like the antlers of a stag. That is from which the name derives. Male stag beetles use their jaws to wrestle each other for favoured mating sites in a manner that looks like the way stags fight over females. Fights may also be over food, such as tree sap and decaying fruits. Despite their often fearsome appearance, they are not normally aggressive to humans. Sometimes the jaws are so big that they are a handicap to the beetles movement.

The size of a Stag Beetle ranges between 8 and 40 mm. Most stag beetles are robust and black or brown. However, a few are brightly coloured. Their average lifespan in the wild can be up to 7 years! Stag beetles spend most of their very long life cycle underground as a larva. This can be anywhere from three to seven years depending on the weather.
