i see your man has his spikes on there dave, was this a safety call or a 'the tree is crap anyway' call?

[David Humphries]

Dorcus parallelopipedus it is, Tony.

 

Thought we had Lucanus cervus - the Greater Stag Beetle when I first saw the larvae.

They are almost identical at this stage, both with orange heads, though ours were from thirty foot up in a cavity, unlike Stag larvae, which I'm sure you know, are normally to be found in decaying wood below ground.
