We may be promoting bees with our logo for the 39th Colchester Real Ale and Cider Festival, but we're still looking out for stag beetles..! When you're visiting the festival keep an eye out for Stag Beetles as they can often be found in the garden opposite the @ColchesterArts...

when you see one: stagbeetles.ptes.org/take-pa… Adult stag beetles are crepuscular, which means they are active mainly at twilight. The males can generally be seen from mid-May to late July, especially on hot and humid summer evenings an hour or two before dusk, when they fly about..

looking for females. They can be attracted to light. In urban areas with stag beetle populations, you may also notice them walking on the ground, particularly along roads and pavements, as they appear to be attracted to these warm surfaces. #BeerFestival #Colchester #stagbeetle
