Giant Beetle

Look at this beetle! Last night, as I pulled in my driveway, I found him crawling on the side of the house. He’s about the size of my thumb. I’ve never seen such huge beetles in this area! Does anyone have any idea of what kind he might be?

You've got yourself a Lucanus capreolus, friend… a pinching bug, or stag beetle!

You should find it a mating partner to start a pinching bug family!!
