The European Stag Beetle

"Lucanus cervus" is the best-known species of stag beetle in the West, and is sometimes referred to simply as the stag beetle. It lives in holes in old trees and dead trunks, in the forest as well as in groves. Forest management, in eliminating old trees and dead wood, eliminates at the same time the habitat and food of this species.
