Small stag beetle Platycerus quercus - Oak Stag Beetle (male, 8 mm)
I found a female and a male under the loose bark of a rotting log, likely an oak. They were quite near each other. Males, apparently, are sometimes found on spring flowers. The Dillons tell us &quot;Mandibles of male as long as head and with about six teeth near apex, in female much smaller&quot;. It was nice to find a male and a female together for comparison.
