Does it (do they?) stand up like that? Or is this a dead one. Either way it looks bad ass as shit. Like scale it up right, add a artisty style, boom dnd monster.
Fun fact! This beetle is illegal in Florida.
Got dammit, when will they get these illegals out of here already?!?
/s
so many invasive species in flordia.
Here’s a super rare, cool, and interesting beetle!
*posts a super low quality image*Here you go, since OP doesn’t care about quality.
Appreciate your images. But I don’t think that shade on OP was necessary lol.
The shade absolutely was necessary. This isn’t reddit; have some standards.
I disagree
…and you have 0 posts on your account.
There is a shortage of posts on lemmy compared to active users. So no use outproportionally criticising someone who is posting a post based on something like image quality of a reposted meme lol. That’ll just make people who bring content to lemmy less likely to continue.
Obviously it’s okay to criticise bad posts, but I think in thise case the criticism was more just insults. (and especially in a meme community, like dude we don’t expect 4k image memes).
This is a meme?
The one tagged “female” was just a bottom view and they both look similiar? Is that the joke?
No there’s no joke. It’s the same beetle, top and bottom. Split down the middle to be genetically male and female
Ohh ohh damn lol. Posting two pictures was extremely confusing given “left” and “right”
It’s so you can see the top and bottom. It seems pretty obvious it’s left-right that has the differences. Just look at the mandibles!
I’m no beetle expert. I thought it’s a weird beetle that has asymmeyric pair of scissors, and male and female had left/right handedness
Reminds me of something I drew a while back.
I screwed up the equal length of the mandibles from the reference image. They look very similar to this bettle though. The body texture and shape is not quite right though.
To be fair, your images are full of jpeg artifacts. But at least they’re higher res.
That’s why I didn’t say anything about jpeg artifacts. Just low quality.
Inter-sects
They are turning the beetles Trans!!!
Obviously beetles aren’t smart enough to comprehend 5th grade science.
That’s a can opener beetle
Vivec?
Only one way to find out.

Yup…
It’s the difference in eyes that messes with me.
Because women are always right.

That’s really interestng. I assume it’s the left photo from above and the right photo from below.

Genuinely an interesting mutation, it’s weird that it’s listed as happening in Rodents but not other mammals? Is that just a numbers thing I wonder?
Well, you can see where the legs connect on the right one, but not the left one, so yeah
Elon Musk’s least favorite beetle that isn’t named after Hitler
I feel immensely awful for this guy
It must be annoying having mandibles different length like that.
kill me
Later
