  Appreciate your images. But I don’t think that shade on OP was necessary lol.

      …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 a bit much.

        This is a meme?

    The shade absolutely was necessary. This isn’t reddit; have some standards.

  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!

  Reminds me of something I drew a while back.

  I screwed up the eual length of the antlers from the reference image. It does look very similar to this bettle 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.
