#Stagbeetle # 6 and #Stagbeetle # 7 for 2025! Two male Lucanus discovered locked in combat on the pavement. But again in a place where they'd get trodden on. So I had to pick them and relocate them in a safe place.
Stagbeetles in combat, fighting on the ground at night, both on their backs. Two male stagbeetles on my hand. My hand as I'm reaching over a wall to an area with shrubs, the two beetles still clinging to my hand.

Stag beetle # 4 for 2025! Again, a Lesser stag (this is a female), this one in a street where I've seen a Lesser stag before (albeit a dead one). #UKwildlife #beetles #Stagbeetles

More 2025 #stagbeetles! Sadly, both deceased. # 8 is a male Lesser stag found at a roadside in Charmouth, Dorset. # 9 is a female Lucanus, head and thorax only, found on a Southampton pavement. #beetles #ukwildlife

In the heart of the forest, a clash of titans! Two stag beetles lock mandibles in a fierce battle for dominance, their exoskeletons gleaming in the dappled sunlight. This stunning close-up captures the raw power and primal intensity of nature's gladiators. 🪲⚔️ StagBeetles

It was 8 years ago today when my daughter's teacher asked every pupil to write down one worry and one hope for the year ahead. My daughter wrote her worry that stag beetles might become extinct. And her hope was that #StagBeetles would survive. ❤️😄 Photo: flowers picked for me by my kids yesterday.

Trolleybuses are massively underrated. You can put the infrastructure in fast without tearing up the road, they aren't a bike hazard, and they look like mecha stagbeetles. Great things.

Spectacular #stagbeetles are in decline in the UK but we're on a mission to bring them back from the brink!

Like many animals, stag beetles suffer from habitat loss. Home to them is a not-so-glamorous (to us!) but utterly enticing pile of dead wood 😍

We just published a paper showing that large male of the Helm's stag beetle were more likely to win in contests. You can read all about it here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Ličinke oz. ogrci zlate minice (Cetonia aurata), ki so, za razliko od ličink majskega hrošča(Melolontha melolontha) ali junijskega hrošča (Amphimallon solstitialis), zelo koristne živale v vrtu.
