EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph showcases a small yet significant portion of the extensive Stag Beetle Collection of renowned French entomologist, Hughes Bomans. With a career spanning over five decades, Bomans amassed an impressive total of approximately 32,000 stag beetles, making it one of the most comprehensive collections in the world. Stag beetles belong to the family Lucanidae, order Coleoptera, and are characterized by their large mandibles that resemble the antlers of a stag. This intriguing group of invertebrates, classified under the class Insecta, Phylum Arthropoda, and Subclass Hexapoda, has long fascinated naturalists and collectors alike. Bomans' collection is a testament to his dedication and passion for entomology. The photograph captures an exquisite selection of stag beetles, each meticulously preserved and arranged in a carefully labeled box. The beetles, displaying a diverse range of sizes, colors, and patterns, are a visual feast for the eyes. Bomans' collection is not only a valuable resource for scientific research but also an artistic masterpiece. The intricate details of the beetles' exoskeletons, their unique shapes, and the delicate patterns on their elytra (wing cases) make for an awe-inspiring display. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving natural history collections for future generations. Bomans' Stag Beetle Collection is a testament to the rich biodiversity of our planet and the wonders that lie within the invertebrate world. Bomans' passion for entomology extended beyond his personal collection. He authored several books on stag beetles and other insects, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with the scientific community and the public. His contributions to the field of entomology continue to inspire and influence researchers and collectors around the world.
