Huge beetle

Hi. Perhaps someone could identify this beetle for me. About a week ago something tried to dig under my fence and left two large grubs on my path. I Googled them and they appeared to be Chafer Grubs. The ants had already bagged their prize so I left well alone.

Today we discovered a huge beetle that looked like a Stag beetle but was at least 3 inches long. Any info would be welcomed. I took a photo but not sure how to attach it from my iPad.

Thanks

 

It's difficult to say what type of beetle it could be without a picture. Having only joined Saturday Boscombe I think you are restricted from loading pictures until you have made a certain amount of posts.

 

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I've tried to attach a photo my son took so see if it works!

 

That's a boysey Stag Beetle

On a serious note I haven't seen a stag beetle around here for years.
