Stag beetles are Britain's largest beetles and are now rare in many of our woodlands. Here, two males fight over possesion of a rocky log, using their large mandibles for display and combat. The winner goes in search of a mate who has also been attracted by the log - it is here she will lay her eggs, so that the rotting wood can become an immediate food source for the grubs when they hatch.
