Stag beetle.

I was looking at an old rotted tree trunk and this Stag beetle crawled out of the wood.
It crawled across the trunk onto the floor, then over to a tree. the last I saw of it was about 20 foot up the tree and still climbing.
It was about 4 inches long.

When we were young, a group of us found one on the ground and a lad pushed it with his toe. It bit right through the basketball shoe he was wearing and drew blood. Oh how we laughed!

I have to admit to never hearing
of a stag beetle, but I probably
do know how he feels.

Haven’t seen one of those for years starting to believe they were extinct
