STAG BEETLES
i like insects. they are like little organic robots to me. fascinating little creatures that keep the world going round. but my all time favourite is the stag beetle. i started liking them when i saw a boy wearing the “antlers” on a string around his neck. and it stuck with me. now, i have...
