Dor Beetle

Found in the garden :)

Safely returned after I'd had a closer look.

Ooow that looks big !! I wouldn't hurt them but I really don't like beetles & certainly couldn't pick one up.
Great close up shot though.

Not seen a stag beetle for years. Excellent find

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Sadly not a stag beetle (don't have those around here), this one's a dor beetle, a kind of dung beetle.

You’re brave to pick him up!

What great detail - is he one of those beetles that hiss at you?

Good shot, great detail
