Tree full of Stag Beetles

While taking a stroll in the memorial park (in the middle of the city) I found another female stag beetle and started sketching ;) but in a minute kids were screaming "here! It's bigger, it has horns!" and I saw this oak tree - full of stag beetles of all sizes!

  3. You've really captured those insect-y legs and feet! I like stag beetles, we had one in the house a year or so ago...
