I feel immensely awful for this guy
It must be annoying having mandibles different length like that.
That's a can opener beetle
Inter-sects
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.
Look at you, in-in-insect!
A p-p-pathetic creature of protein and chitin.
This is some Slaanesh shit!
But which toilet does it use?!
It's the difference in eyes that messes with me.
Because women are always right.
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.
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.
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
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?
As is usually the case, the left is very horny
kill me
Later
They are turning the beetles Trans!!!!
Vivec?
Only one way to find out.
*Squish*
With this character's death, the threads of prophecy have been severed. You may load a saved game, or persist in this doomed world that you have created.
Yup..
Elon Musk’s least favorite beetle that isn’t named after Hitler
