PTES stag beetle competition winner

Thank you to all who took part in our Great Stag Hunt photo competition. There were hundreds of entries and many were of an exceptionally high standard. Please take a look at http://gallery.greatstaghunt.org/v/2007/. The first prize winner was Maria Fremlin, who captured these two males, right, in battle.

Beetles used to smuggle drugs

A parcel sent from Peru to Amsterdam on Friday was found to have 100 dead stag beetles inside. Upon further inspection, the beetles had been stuffed with about 300 grams of cocaine. The street value of all that coke is about $11,270.
