Lucanidae
(Stag Beetles)
The Lucanidae are a family of beetles that include the stag beetles.
The “stag beetle” name is derived from the large and distinctive mandibles found on the males of most species, which resemble the antlers of stags. Because its mandibles are capable of exceeding its own body size, stag beetles are generally inefficient runners and are very slow, and typically feel the need to fly from one location to another.
Female stag beetles are usually smaller than the males, with smaller mandibles that are much more powerful than the males’.
Stage beetle larvae feed for several years on rotting wood, growing through three larval stages until eventually pupating inside a pupal cell constructed from surrounding wood pieces and soil particles.
