Welcome to Bug Guide.

Nice find, nice images, you're off to a great start. Next time you have more than one photo of the same specimen, use the Add Image feature to easily link your images without having to do a ton of retyping.

It'd also be a good idea to link your two photos of this critter. I think all you have to do is Tag each one, then Link them. (For details, see the Help tab.)

Thanks for info/suggestions

I think they are tagged together now. This big guy was hung up in a spider web on the outside of a window at my parent's house. My Dad got it down with the broom. It sure looked intimidating.

Thanks Mary Jo:-)

Thanks for posting here, after your question to me in AllExperts. I completely forgot about the stag beetle possibility! Nice specimen, thanks for sharing.

Did it

I'll second that, and add that linking is for any time the images are of the same individual or group of individuals.
