Details

The male stag beetle’s impressively-proportioned mandibles are used almost exclusively for battling rivals when preferred mating territories are at stake. Like the deer they are named for, these beetles engage in ferocious-looking contests by locking ‘antlers’. In some countries, the insects are collected and beetlebouts are staged for entertainment. Fittingly, these unusual and extravagantly coloured critters are part of the Royal Australian Mint’s Bright Bugs Series.
