Stag beetle and predators

Stag beetles are very much part of the food chain. I'm afraid that being such a large fat beetle makes them prone to all kinds of trouble.
Below are some pages related to this topic; they have been written over the years.

Special request! If you happen to have pictures of stag beetles who have been victims of other predators and would like to share them on this website, please, contact me. I'm particularly interested in cats, hedgehogs, mice and shrews not to mention badgers.
