In England’s New Forest, it was once believed that the stag beetle, dubbed the "devil's imp", was sent to do some evil to the corn crops. The superstition led to stoning the insects on sight, as observed by a writer in the Notes and Queries. Along with rhinoceros beetles, stag beetles are often bought as pets in South Korea and Japan.
