Discover one of the most spectacular and rare beetles in Europe’s fauna: Morimus asper funereus, known popularly as the Great Grey Beetle or the Stone Carpenter. In this first part, we focus on a solitary male and explore the fascinating details of this impressive saproxylic species. Although it is a flightless beetle, its adaptation to the forest environment is remarkable, and its coloration offers perfect camouflage on beech and oak bark. In this episode you will see: ✅ Macro details of the elytra texture and the male’s impressive antennae ✅ Observations about its specific habitat (forests rich in dead wood) ✅ Why it is considered a bioindicator of ecosystem health This species is protected under the Habitats Directive (Natura 2000) and stands as a symbol of old‑growth forest conservation. Stay tuned for Part II, where we will meet his lady as well. “The Great Grey’s Monologue” In the forest shade he takes his throne, A tiny king of wood and stone. He walks with pride, he plays the star, A legend small, but grand by far. He strikes a pose, he holds his breath, Pretends he’s met dramatic death. But wink by wink, the truth comes through — He’s just a beetle… with a point of view. — By Copilot #MorimusAsperFunereus #GreatGreyBeetle #ForestWildlife #MacroNature #SaproxylicSpecies Thank you for watching and supporting my videos — your curiosity keeps these stories alive.
