Amazing Nature: Stag Beetle Rescue

My water conservation efforts sometimes trap unsuspecting insects. I did not know Stag Beetles ( Lucanus placidus or Pinching Bug ) even flew high enough to land in this barrel. I thought they just stayed in the soil eating decaying wood, etc.. Stag Beetles are not really dangerous to humans and I think this one only pinched me trying to hang on. The pinch only hurt for a few seconds afterwards. Next time I will pick them up from behind. You'd think I would know by now. Disney's Bibbity Bobbity Boo : ) Comments Welcome
