Talk:Mountain stag beetle

Identity
This little (or big) beetle has had quite a mixup, in more ways than one. "Mountain Beetle" is the name given to the modern-day Lucanus hermani, but the direct japanese translation shows it is infact the "Miyama Beetle" L. maculifermoratus. Obviously the japanese translation would be more reliable, as it come out in Japan first. But the thing is, the name shown when you caught it (Miyamakuwaga) would directly translate into "Miyama Stag Beetle" and not "Mountain Stag Beetle". So was this a translation error, or were the translators being lazy and substituted the first stag beetle they could find on the net?

It's possible that the identity should be checked further. There's a possibility it is actually the same species as the "Miyama Stag" is in City Folk. Distinguishing between Miyama spp. and Lucanus maculifermoratus shouldn't be too hard, but of course the bugs in these games have had a tad of realism removed. Taliseth 22:38, October 8, 2011 (UTC)
