I love this time of year! Always something new to look at! Now is the time when adult stag beetles start flying out from the oak-woods in Bushey Park. This female turned up in our garden. Only 4 cm long and not as ferocious looking as the male but looks are deceptive. Those mandibles fetch one hell of a painful nip! #Insects #entomology #stagbeetles

🐞 Oh look, another gripping tale of #infidelity and insect nightlife from 1912! Who knew our great-great-grandparents were so entertained by melodramatic stag beetles cheating on their spouses with dragonflies? 🐜 Clearly, the pressing issue of the day was not world peace, but which arthropod would win the heart of a leggy #Odonata. 🎥

Bedded Bugs and Stung Beetles: *The Cameraman’s Revenge* (1912)

Perhaps the first work of puppet animation, featuring a cast composed of dead bugs.

Keep an eye out for #StagBeetles in #London #UK

There is a stag beetle loggery in my local park, Hilly Fields. I saw a stag beetle there once, several years ago - turns out 2017 having spent 15 minutes finding the photo!
