Hey everyone- I visited a wooded area near my house today and found two larvae of what I think are stags larvae. Ive never kept stags before or their larva. I need some info- what are they (stags or something else?) and what instar are they? I'm guessing it's too hard to identify species from...

So I visited a fellow blacksmith/knifemaker about two or three weeks ago who lives out in the boonies of Arkansas, I told him about my interest in beetles awhile back and told him to grab any unusual beetles he could find. When I got up the driveway he was standing there with his neighbor...
