This big guy was crossing the paved walkway. Some sort of Scarab?

Wow, I love to see big beetles with giant mandibles! I think it might be a type of stag beetle. Hope one of the experts can ID.

I think you have a Reddish Brown Stag Beetle...possible a female.

Thanks, Kwanjin. I bypassed this one because of the larger jaws not knowing the females had smaller jaws.
Thanks. This is it.
