Wholesale Stag Beetle Figurine

Impressive with its large antler-shaped mandibles, the stag beetle is one of the largest beetles in Europe. It can be found in forests, parks and sometimes gardens, where it flies heavily at dusk during the summer. In the male, these spectacular mandibles are not used for feeding but to intimidate rivals during fights to win over a female. Surprisingly, despite its imposing appearance, the stag beetle is harmless to humans. Its larva lives for several years in dead wood before transforming into an adult, thus playing an important role in recycling organic matter. This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the stag beetle: robust body, imposing mandibles and precise details. An ideal model to complete a collection of insects and garden animals, invent naturalist stories or raise children’s awareness of the importance of insects in the balance of nature.
