This image captures a lovely moment of curiosity and connection with nature. A child is holding a black beetle, possibly a ground beetle or stag beetle, while an adult hand gently supports theirs. Another hand nearby appears to be offering a piece of fruit—perhaps to feed or attract the beetle. The grassy background suggests this is happening outdoors, maybe during a nature walk or an educational activity.
Hello Beetle 🪲
A female lesser stag we think a sign that the forest garden is providing some food which we learnt wasn’t the apple we offered but dead wood.
