Large beetles with pincers, also known as stag beetles, are known for their impressive size and distinctive pincers that resemble antlers. These beetles are typically strong and have a powerful grip with their pincers, which they use for defense and mating purposes. They are often active at night and are attracted to lights. Stag beetles are also known for their loud buzzing flight sound and are commonly found in wooded areas.

There are literally millions of stag beetles still left. There are over 1,200 different species of stag beetles that you can find.
Stag beetles primarily face predation from birds, mammals, and other insects. Larger birds are particularly effective predators, as they can easily spot and capture these beetles. Additionally, some carnivorous insects, such as spiders and other beetles, may also prey on stag beetles, especially during their vulnerable larval stages. However, stag beetles possess strong mandibles that can deter some predators, allowing them to defend themselves when threatened.
A stag beetles habitat usually consists of rotten wood and sap. Funny, isn't it?

No, stag beetles do not eat ants. Their mandibles are very large and prohibit them from eating. Instead they drink and survive off of sap.
