Close-up of a small beetle, possibly Dorcus parallelipipedus, known as the lesser stag beetle. It has a glossy black exoskeleton with noticeable textures and distinct mandibles. The beetle is situated on a rough, speckled surface, perhaps concrete or stone. Its antennae are segmented, typical of beetles, and its legs are thin with slightly spiky appendages. The body is compact and robust, demonstrating typical features of a stag beetle but lacking the large mandibles of the more prominent species.
