Donating to the Museum in City Folk

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

"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

The Prosopocoilus inclinatus (saw stag beetle) is one of the most common Japanese stag beetles. They are kept as pets in Japan, much like many other beetles. The mandibles on its head change shape when the beetle grows - the larger it becomes, the great the angle and size the mandibles become.
