brilliant colours !!! stunning stag beetle indeed !!

Fun fact! Despite its fearsome appearance, the stag beetle is a gentle giant. Though impressive, its large mandibles are actually for showing off to females during courtship rituals, and for wrestling with other males, and it is not capable of delivering a painful bite. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153111738780603&set=a.10152575329380603.958289.10150120463815603&type=1
