EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1865, showcases the stunning beauty and intrigue of the Stag Beetle family (Lucanidae), specifically the Male and Female Stag Beetles and their pupa. The Stag Beetle is a large, winged insect native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. The name "Stag Beetle" derives from the prominent antler-like mandibles of the male, which are used in mating displays to attract females. The Female Stag Beetle, while not possessing antlers, is equally impressive with her elongated mandibles and robust build. Both genders undergo a remarkable metamorphosis, starting as white, C-shaped larvae that live in decaying wood for several years before pupating and emerging as adults. The pupa stage, depicted in this image, is a transitional phase where the insect undergoes significant morphological changes to transform into its adult form. The Stag Beetle's unique appearance and lifecycle have fascinated naturalists and collectors for centuries. This photograph, taken over 150 years ago, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the allure of these fascinating insects. The intricate details of their exoskeletons, the delicate wings, and the distinct antlers of the male are all on full display, making this an essential addition to any natural history collection or scientific study.
