4cm long walking along the path. Spotted by hubby who called me for a photo opportunity. It’s and annual occurrence and we always report sightings to https://stagbeetles.ptes.org/thank-you-for-the-sighting/
My get pushed was to capture a close up so no time like the present.
Nailed the challenge, fabulous detail. I especially love the yellow stripes; when I was a child I saw hundreds of these on Hounslow Heath, great memories.
