It was a stag night - a photo on Flickriver

            IN Bournemouth, this stag beetle seemed intent on getting killed - it was right in the middle of the cycle track. I rescued it and put it in the bushes only to turn around and find another! "Stag beetles are a group of about 1,200 species of beetles in the family Lucanidae, presently classified in four subfamilies. Some species grow up to over 12 cm, but most are about 5 cm. Wikipedia
