We found this bug in our house today. So far have not been able to identify it after past hour online. Its pincers look way larger than most normal beetles I can find. Can someone help us finger out more about this critter? Thank you

$\begingroup$ Perhaps the closest I can find is a stag beetle? Although we are in the city and not heavily forested $\endgroup$ – IT_User Jul 4 '18 at 5:46

$\begingroup$ It looks a lot like dorcus curvidens, but according to the wikipedia page, it's found in Japan. But I would lean heavily towards a dorcus species. $\endgroup$ – user137 Jul 4 '18 at 6:37

That is a cottonwood stage beetle. Lucanidae, Lucanus mazama https://bugguide.net/node/view/666700/bgimage
