Helms' Stag Beetle

Around 40 of these were found on the grass strip just inside of the predator-proof fence. It was almost as though they had gathered for a party! Some were moving but others were upside down and didn't move when I picked them up, others were climbing up the fencing. The upside down ?dead beetle pic has 4 small critters on it - is this normal?
