I was chopping up a rotten tree in the garden today & found this MONSTER :eek:

It was 25-30mm long and only had the 6 legs you can see.

Anybody got any idea as to what it is or should I post it in the SETI forum ;)

Ps. No , I did not kill it with fire , Nuke it from space or kick it in the ovaries :D
 
Eww, from that pic, it looks like it's next to some dog turd, and it's 25-30cm! Which would be a little scary :p
 
It could be a Stag Beetle (Lucanus Cervus) larva (they're found living in dead, rotting trees). So I wouldn't kill it, because the Stag Beetle is an endangered species. ;)

Think you've got it :) , the tree stump is riddled with them so I'll leave it alone.

Stag Beetles are awesome/wicked/the bogs dollocks :D
