Stag Beetle: Nature's Armored Wrestler

The stag beetle (Lucanidae) is a fascinating family of beetles, known for the males' oversized antler-like mandibles, which they use in dramatic battles for mates or food like tree sap. These beetles, some reaching over 12 cm, are among the largest terrestrial insects in Europe, with the iconic Lucanus cervus often called the "king of beetles."

Interestingly, stag beetles have been part of folklore—once nicknamed the "devil's imp" in England, they were believed to harm crops. Despite their fierce appearance, they're harmless to humans and are even kept as pets in Japan and South Korea!
