This year's stag beetle season started exceptionally early in the UK due to the beetles clear response to a very warm April. This happened also in the continent.
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 ;-) Contact:Maria Fremlin.
