Elephant Stag Beetle, American Stag Beetle (Lucanus elaphus)
Wow Melody! That thing looks wicked...you could mount those antlers and hang them on your wall!!!! They're huge!
Actually, this guy was probably elderly. If you look at the 'antlers' they have battle scars on them. We must be in a good area for these guys. I see several every year.
Very cool bug ... great shot!
