LUCANUSCERVUS
Lucanus cervus
Lucanus cervus is the best-known species of stag beetle in the West, and is sometimes referred to simply as the stag beetle. It lives in holes in old trees and dead trunks, in the forest as well as in groves. Forest management, in eliminating old trees and dead wood, eliminates at the same time the habitat and food of this species. Once quite common, the population of the Lucanus cervus, along with that of other species of beetles which feed on wood, is in steep decline, and is now listed as a globally threatened/declining species.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Lucanus cervus
