Stag Beetle 1

Stag beetle

Nikon D80 w/105mm Micro Nikkor, f/13 at 1/200sec ISO 100. 2 sb-600s at about 1/16th in DIY Macro Studio.

This beetle was giving my dog a hard time last night! I decided to keep it to photograph. Not sure how many more bugs like this I'll photograph as I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to large (or small) bugs/beetles/spiders/insects (Even if they are harmless)

edit: After it's photo shoot, this beetle was returned alive and kicking to it's home in my backyard where my dog accidentally found It the night before
