23 June - attack of the stag beetle!

I was debating which photo to use as my PAD when there were
shrieks from the garden - the kids had found a huge stag
beetle! So of course, I didn't rush to protect them... I
rushed to get my camera & macro lens first!

See in original size for best scarey effect! ;o)

eeeeuuuwwwww, that is a nasty looking beetle Nicky. I didn't remember England having such huge beasts. Well captured.
