Profile
Scientific name:	Neolucanus swinhoei (Bates)

Features:	The Stag beetle's most notable characteristic is its large, antler-like mandibles on its head, which they use to defend themselves. Males have well-developed mandibles that are as long as their heads, and their bodies are roughly 30-50mm long. Females have much smaller mandibles, and their bodies are only 28-42mm long. Adult Stag beetles have black, lustrous heads and thoraxes, and their elytrons are smooth and tangerine with a metallic luster, giving them a gorgeous appearance.
Behavior:	Adult Stag beetles emerge between July and December, especially in August and September. They are often seen on roads, mountain paths, in forests, and on mountains, where they usually gather together to drink tree sap. They are photokinetic insects.
Habitat:	Adult Stag beetles are endemic to Taiwan and can be found in mountainous regions below 1500m elevations throughout the northern and eastern parts of the island.
