In the front-line territories of Ukraine, the war affects not only people but also nature. Soldiers have noticed that endangered stag beetles have chosen bunkers near military positions. These insects are losing their habitats due to shelling, so they are looking for warm places, but such movements can negatively impact them. The hostilities affect not only stag beetles but also other insect species. Even rare components of nature suffer from explosions and shelling. Unusual phenomena, such as giant scoliids and large spiders, are also observed, indicating a diversity of the local underground world.
