EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration showcases the greater stag beetle, Dorcus parallelipipedus, a fascinating and distinctive insect belonging to the beetle family (Coleoptera) and the order Insecta. Depicted in meticulous detail by the skilled hand of James Barbut for his work "The Genera Insectorum of Linnaeus exemplified by various specimens of English insects drawn from Nature" (1781), this illustration offers a captivating glimpse into the intricate anatomy and unique features of this remarkable arthropod. The greater stag beetle, also known as the deer stag beetle, is native to Europe and is named for its antler-like mandibles, which resemble the antlers of a deer. These impressive appendages are used by the male during mating displays to attract females. The beetle's body is elongated and cylindrical, measuring up to 7 centimeters in length, with a shiny, dark exoskeleton and distinctive stripes. As an epitherian animal, the greater stag beetle is part of the class Eutheria, which includes mammals, and the subclass Artiodactyla, which includes even-toed ungulates such as deer. However, unlike deer, the greater stag beetle is an invertebrate, belonging to the phylum Arthropoda and the class Hexapoda. This illustration provides a fascinating reminder of the incredible diversity of life forms that exist within the natural world, and the important role that careful observation and documentation plays in advancing our understanding of the intricacies of the natural world.
