Lucanus cervus is a large beetle found in Europe, notable for its impressive size and the prominent mandibles (jaw-like structures) that resemble deer antlers, which give it its common name of stag beetle. It is of ecological and cultural interest as one of Europe's largest beetles, though populations have declined in some regions due to habitat loss.
