Nearby Pazo de Trasfontao, there is an oak grove with centennial specimens. This type of vegetation mass gives shelter to Europe’s largest beetle species: the stage beetle. Its name in Galician, escornabois, a composite of escornar (to gore) and bois (oxen), comes from the shape of its horn-like mandibles.
