    A stag beetle cradle is, broadly speaking, a facility that provides suitable conditions for the development and maturation of stag beetle larvae.

    Pieces of rotting oak wood placed in the soil serve as breeding material.

    Here, one was created to provide shelter for the endangered beetles. An information panel explains exactly how it is constructed and what it does – a very sensible idea.

    One such cradle was set up here to provide shelter for the endangered beetles. An information board explains exactly how it is constructed and what it is used for - a very useful thing.
