 Male and female stag beetles. Photo by Maria Fremlin, 27 June 2010. |
The stag beetle 2013 flight season is having a late start due to below average temperatures. In spite of that, the magpies in my patch have already discovered them! I saw my first stag beetle of the season, the corpse of a male, on 23 May!
Do register your sightings on the ongoing The Great Stag Hunt III survey. Null records (eg 'I looked but I didn't find any') are equally useful.
If you have any interesting observations do not hesitate to email me; thanks to your feedback there is always something new to learn about these fascinating beetles. Consequently, I do my best to keep this site updated as I enjoy receiving your emails.
See you soon ;-)
