Stag Beetle

Stag beetles are a family of about 1,200 beetles in the Lucanidae family, divided into four subfamilies. Some species can reach over 12 centimetres (4+12 inch), but the majority only reach 5 cm (2 in).

Most people do not want any bugs in their home, and they would not pay thousands of dollars to have one. Many people consider these massive beetles to be a prized possession, and bug collectors will pay exorbitant prices to own one. Despite their massive pinchers, they only eat leaves.

Unfortunately, these beetles only live 1 to 2 years on average, but they have been reported to live up to 7 years in some cases. While the cost of owning one is generally low, a Japanese breeder once sold this bug for around $89,000! So, if you see a big bug in your house, don't squash it if it's a stag beetle!
