stag beetle

When "Paula" stalled at Stag, Salinger must have been relieved.

Her feet crush creeping things: there is a busy ant or blazoned beetle, with its back broken, writhing in the dust, unseen.

But strangest of all the dishes at the Tagal's feast was one prepared from a kind of beetle.

Sometimes when the children were playing in the snow, they found the antlers of a full-grown stag.

I did not realize it until that early morning when I heard the moving feet, as one hears dogs on the hurrying heels of a stag.

I looked up and there was a stag whose nostrils were quivering with excitement as if he scented the music.
