Donation to the Museum
Blathers will comment on the donation to the Museum as follows:

In Wild World
", have you ever had a saw stag beetle adhere to your clothes? Their little claws are so sharp, it's nigh impossible to untangle the wretches. It's terribly rude, really. It's not enough to be vile, they must be clingy, too!"

In City Folk
"The saw stag beetle's most distinguishing feature is its large, curved jaw, wot? The larger the specimen, the more teeth in its jaw. Among collectors, the teeth settle a specimen's worth. I don't suppose bugs have dentists... Hoo, I'm quite sure that would be the worst job of all time."

After donation, the Saw Stag beetle can be found on the top tier of the insect section, on the fourth tree from the lantern on the left side.

Further Information
Prosopocoilus inclinatus (Saw Stag or Sawtooth Stag Beetle) is one of the most common Japanese stag beetles in the family Lucanidae. They are kept as pets in Japan, much like many other stag and scarab beetles. The mandibles on its head change shape when the beetle grows - the larger it becomes, the greater the angle and size the mandibles become.

Despite appearances the males cannot actually bite, as the size of its "antlers" actually prevents its mouth from coming into contact; unless you put your finger directly into its mouth.
