  3. Stag Beetles are normally have 4 antennae but Lucanus Cervus Akbesianus have 6.This species only lives on Amanos Mountain inTurkey.

  4. Habitat • The beetle with six antennae only lives on Amanos Mountain which is in Hatay,Turkey (northwest of the border with Syria). HATAY • It lives in holes in old trees and dead trunks, in the forest as well as in groves. • Differentkindslive in someEuropeancountries

  5. Habitat

  6. Characteristics • Size: Dark, violet-brownelytra (wingcases) withreddish-brownantlers (female'santlersaremuchsmallerthanthemale's). • Length of the body :Some species grow up to over 12 cm , but most are about 5 cm . • Legsarebrownblackandthe 6 antennaehave a verylongscape. • Thefemale has a smaller body andshortandthickmandibles. • Themale has a rectangularheadbroaderthanthepronotumandmarkedlateralangles.

  7. Life Cycle • Life-span: The larva lives 3-5 years. Adults live only between the months of May and August. • Food:Stag beetle larvae are important decomposers of wood. Adult stag beetles may feed on leaves, sap, or even honeydew from aphids.

  8. Life Cycle • Themaleshaveenlargedmandiblesandarelargerthanthefemales. • Male'smandiblesseemthreatening,but theyaretooweakto be harmful. • Females can inflict a painful bite. • Stag beetles use their impressive size and massive mandibles to defend themselves

  11. ENDANGERED? YES According to researches this beetle is critically endangered. AÇED (Amanos Environmental Protection Association) is doing things to protect and to increase the number of their population.

  12. Why an Endangered Species? • Tidying up of woodlands, parks and gardens has led to the removal of dead or decaying wood habitats which is the stag beetle larvae’s food source. • They come to light sources so they are being crushed by traffic • or feet.

  13. Why an Endangered Species? • Changes in weather patterns are also likely to have an impact. • Beetle-mania in Japan is causing • bigproblems for stag beetles in Turkey. • Because of the forest fires.

  14. How To Protect . • Don’t forget that stag beetles are harmless. • No matter what don’t take old stumps and deadwood! • Prepare brochures for local people about stag beetle’s benefits for habitat. • People shouldn’t do stag beetle trade. • We should create new life areas for them which are bright and see sunlight.
