Stainer (SIR JOHN a pretty severe wound)

SIR JOHN a pretty severe wound. The stag beetle is common in forests, and flies about in the evening in summer. The larva feeds on the wood of the oak and the willow, into the trunks of which it eats its way, and lives for a considerable time before undergoing a metamorphosis. Some of the tropical stag beetles are very brilliantly colored.
