Re: An Amazing Stag Beetle - 36 hours dead but still moving!
by Maria Fremlin
Hi Adrian! Yes, this is pretty common. Once somebody got bitten quite fiercely by a body-less male, found while cycling; he then searched for the beetle remains which had been catapulted by a reflex, and took it to a school the next day. I have even videoed a female which could turn herself around, see http://maria.fremlin.de/stagbeetles/photos_lc_corpses.html#female Could go on and on... Your question is very good. Also, do they 'feel' anything? Maria Colchester, Essex
