Large beetle, about 3-4 cm long, walking in the sand near the sea. Looked like a Stag Beetle (Lucanus sp.) at first sight but the shape of the body and the antennae don't match. I don't think it belongs to the Lucanidae family either. No idea. Thanks, Joaquim Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [188.38Kb] |

I believe it is a Scarites sp., from the Carabidae family.
