As someone who knows nothing about entomology, it reminded me of this one beetle with a comically large pointy bit. I think it’s called a hercules beetle.

I don’t think it’s focusing on only mandibles as weapons

The problem is that they clearly think the outgrown mandibles are equivalent to that.
