Teaser - Subterranean beast

While on a walk at night recently I came upon a little beastie that happened to be active. It's a species that has a really interesting story to it, which I'll be spreading out over several posts. Or, at least, I'll show a few photos to get your interest up before revealing what it is. Unless someone guesses before that... Feel free to have a go. Posted by Picasa

    Hi,

    I can't seem to find even a suggestion of feeding parts on this beetle.

    Hmmmm.

    Just to throw my hat into the ring, is it a female stag beetle, Lucanidae?

    (or even a boy well disguised?)

    How about a clue - is it bigger than a bread-box?
