    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.

        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

      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.

      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.

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

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynandromorphism

    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?

    It must be annoying having mandibles different length like that.
