Description The stag beetle is the largest insect in Europe. The one I depicted here however is way larger than one would really be, but, hey, this is art. I can make it as big and creepy as I want to. For this artwork, I wanted something a bit more design like and less akin to a painting. I wanted to focus on the beetle more than I did in my last stag beetle themed image which was in a deep forest. So, rather than its natural environment, I put it on crawling on a human hand. Now the only question is: is it worth two in the bush?

I've seen one of these here in Georgia... only once or twice, I think, but they're incredibly big!

Nicely done! I thought there was some licensing dealing with the size. I knew Goliath beetles was about that size, but not stags. Great piece of work.
