Lucanidae Latreille 1804

Description

Lucanidae

Lucanus placidus Say. Gardner (1986) reported a specimen from Missouri: Wright Co.: Bill Dyer Lead Mine Cave, “… collected from the leaves below the shallow pit entrance.” Lucanus placidus is widespread in the central US and, like most lucanids, their larvae feed on various decaying plant materials (Ratcliffe and Paulsen 2008). This is considered an accidental collection.
