Wesley Fleming

Fiery Stag Beetle

Posted by Wesley Fleming on 2/2/2008
Featured by Robert Koch Glass

In eastern Europe the stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) had a reputation for fire raising. The males were thought to carry glowing embers with their large mandibles to a thatched roof and were also believed to attract lightning. Turkish good luck charms use the male jaws to ward off evil.

Made with Effetre Glass on a GTT Phantom. Measures about 2.5" x 2" x 0.75"
