Avenger1647545502 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Stag Beetle. That one is a male. The mandibles look nasty, but they use them like deer use their antlers, to fight for females. The smaller one ends up flipped on its back. They can't hurt you for anything, it feels sort of like a clothes pin. They can barely even dent the skin, let alone break through.

nurkvinny Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I called those hopping beetles as a kid and used to let them pinch my fingers. Now, I would probably scream like a bitch and stomp it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 One of those fuckers pinched me last summer while I was laying on the cement in my garage working on my car. Needless to say, he got owned with the wrench I had in my hand at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Whoever said it was a stag beetle is incorrect. Looks like something in the subfamily Scaritinae in the ground beetles, maybe even Scarites itself. Hard to say without something to use for scale. It's a very hard specie to key.

GonneVille Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah, it's a ground beetle, no idea which specific sub-specie. Stag beetles are about the size of June-bugs, and have smooth mandibles that curve in, not those jagged lookin mofos. And BTW, ground beetles CAN break skin.
