The male in the photo is what is known as a 'minor male'. In large beetles males can emerge from their pupae significantly smaller or larger than average. This is influenced by the quantity and quality of food they had as larvae.

A naturalist drawing of a beetle from the family Lucanidae. It is the ventral view of a lesser stag beetle (Dorcus parallelipipedus). You can see all the articulations of its legs and where it attaches on the body. It is black except for the tip of the antennae which is yellow. The hair it has is a warm yellow. The hair is in between the head and the prothorax, the prothorax and the forewing. A tuff of hair is in front of its mouth.

A picture of a lesser stag beetle in my hand. Likely a male.
A picture of 2 lesser stag beetle in my hand. Likely and male and a female. However I am unsure because of the shape of their head and the position of their mandibles.
A naturalist drawing of a lesser stag beetle cuz we had a lot of these in the garden this year (5 total).
They like hanging out in the rotting wood my mom has placed as decoration.

Potential problems if the body size indicator is not appropriate (A) Schematic diagram of scaling relationship of a weapon trait (e.g., Mandible size) against a body size indicator (e.g., prothorax width) between two groups. Group A is likely to have larger mandible size than group B when comparing same body sized individuals. (B) Schematic diagram of two possible situations. The first situation is that group A truly has larger mandibles than group B (left). Another one is that group B has wider prothorax and mandible size is not different in individuals of the same size (right). (C) Scaling relationship of mandible length against two different body size indicators in five stag beetle species. Note that using different body size indicators can alter scaling relationship among species.
