Beetles We hope "When in doubt, Kill" is not a motto you live by. In the interest of education, we feel compelled to lecture you on this textbook Unnecessary Carnage. The Elephant Stag Beetle is an elegant insect and not at all harmful despite its fierce appearance. Your photo has saddened us. Read this about 3 hours before I found the same bug on my front porch. Don’t worry,it’s still alive and well. Attached the picture,enjoy!

Hi Desi,
You have cheered us immensely whereas the last squashed photo we received of this species was terribly depressing.

I suppose it’s stag beetle season.After my encounter with the really large one the day before,I found this two inch fellowon the back deck last night.It was friendly enough to pose for me for a bit.After that he decided he liked my long black hair,took me a while to get him out.I’m afraid I freaked out my whole family,but hey,I got good shots 
We’re in Adairsville ,N W Georgia.
