THE BLUE GEMborjan (70)in #photography • 4 years ago One day ... on a small path that leads through the woods ... (Enlargeable) ... I came across this beautiful shiny beetle. I think this is the platycerus caraboides, a smaller relative of the European stag beetle ... but I'm not sure. as always, the photographs are made by me. #nature #animals #insectpub #biology #outdoors #amazinginsects #life
He looks like a stag beetle! But ours are much bigger with two big arms for catching preys.
Nice Blue Gem photography.
