As indeed it is, because stag beetles are aerodynamically challenged. They're simply not very good at flying. This often leads to their downfall as they crash haphazardly into an unsuspecting Homo sapien s who believes they're being attacked, and thence under the Homo sapiens ' boot. A cruel way to go, as all that this beetle is doing is going off rather clumsily in search of some totty. The males emerge from their pupal state, and they are programmed by their selfish gene to find a mate and do what nature intended.
Stag beetles are quite harmless.
They won't bite and they won't nip, unless they're attacked very deliberately first. Those huge jaws of the male are for jousting tournaments with other males, and whoever wins gets the girl. They don't damage plants in your garden, and they don't bite babies. Please chat to your neighbours and make them aware that these insects do no harm and in fact enrich the fauna of urban gardens. Firstly, leave any rotting wood well alone.
