    Here’s a super rare, cool, and interesting beetle! *posts a super low quality image*

      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.

      The one tagged “female” was just a bottom view and they both look similiar? Is that the joke?

      source
      • JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        No there’s no joke. It’s the same beetle, top and bottom. Split down the middle to be genetically male and female

      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.

      source
      • gofsckyourself@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        That’s why I didn’t say anything about jpeg artifacts. Just low quality.

        The wrong use of to/two perfectly encapsulates the whole anti-trans population perfectly.

    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?

    So toilets are usually female - male but beetles are male - female to make circle - female symbol on toilet. Noted, from now on when I spot beetle I will compare it with toilet to figure out if it’s male or female.
