Platycerus sp. ?

Found this little guy within a fallen tree in PA as well as some grubs I think are the same. Is it even a stag? This was the best picture I could get.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so lucky!

It's a female Ceruchus piceus

So cool!

Thanks! Having a lot of fun finding whatever I can. Got about 5 or 6 larvae that I believe are the same, and in the same tree also got an adorable little Augochlora pura (no pictures of that though as she's a fast flyer). I adore sweat bees.

Amazing find! I wish I could find Stag beetles in Central FL.

I'm gonna revisit that spot real soon and see if I can find more!
