I live in south St Louis county, MO. Tonight I was sitting on the porch and this really mean looking bug flew up and landed on the screen. He is about 1.5 inches long. I have never seen anything like this before.

Reddish Brown Stag Beetle
Hi Pam,
This marvelous beetle is a Reddish Brown Stag Beetle, Lucanus capreolus. Like many insects, they are attracted to porch lights.
