I found this larvae in a rotten stump. Could he be a stag beetle? Any identification would be appreciated.

My bet is on Pelidnota punctata

Ooh that would be a nice suprise I love the orange color to them! How large are they and will they eat beetle jellys? Speaking of beetle larvae I just had some long horn beetles pupate into adults which was very exciting and they turned out to be banded longhorn beetles!
They get around an inch as adults. Adults will take beetle jelly though they probably prefer leaves of deciduous trees more.

The hanks do you have any experience keeping Longhorns? Do have any idea on basic care?

I agree, it looks a lot like my P.punctata larvae did, they are very beautiful beetles. Mine ended up dying about a month and a half after becoming adults, I think because I couldn't get them enough grape leaves since it was winter and I didn't already have some.

Ok sounds great I'd love to have one of these and their are tons of wild grapes around here that I could feed it.
