The Blue Stag Beetle in Britain The Blue Stag Beetle, Platycerus caraboides Family: Lucanidae Length: 19-32mm This impressive species is dependent on dead wood for its larval stages. It was found in ancient woods, but probably became extinct in Britain in the nineteenth century. It is still found in continental Europe. Development from egg to adult may take several years. It is a relative of the Stag Beetle (Lucanus cervus) and the Lesser Stag Beetle (Dorcus parallelipipedus). All members of the Stag Beetle family have distinctive antennae. The first segment is long and thin and the whole antenna is bent or elbowed. Adults are metallic blue or green. The large jaws are more pronounced in the male. Back to Learn about Insects

Carpet Beetle DESCRIPTION: The adult carpet beetle is small (about 1/8 inch long), and has a varied color pattern. The larvae are about ¼ inch long, light brown and with long brown hairs extending from the sides and tail end. Irregular holes in carpets, blankets, and clothing is caused by the larval feeding. SOLUTION: Clothing and carpeting that can be damaged by carpet beetles should be cleaned regularly, and wool and leather clothing stored in sealed containers when not in use. Regular cleaning of closets and storage areas will help to reduce infestations. Cedar chests and closets may not be effective in eliminating these beetles.

Other locations around Sydney where Fiddler Beetles have been recently found include Ingleburn, St Mary's, Kellyville and Faulconbridge. They are common in heath and woodlands in south-eastern Australia. Adult beetles emerge from soil in early summer and feed on the nectar of flowers. The beetles lay eggs in rotting logs or in the damp soil under logs. The grubs feed on rotting timber and build cocoons of soil and debris in which they pupate. These attractive beetles are harmless to humans. Copyright © Australian Museum, 2003 This page: http://www.amonline.net.au/factsheets/fiddler_beetles.htm
