minus-squarego $fsck yourself@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up71arrow-down5·edit-29 days agoHere’s a super rare, cool, and interesting beetle! *posts a super low quality image* Here you go, since OP doesn’t care about quality.
minus-squareFundMECFS@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32arrow-down2·8 days agoAppreciate your images. But I don’t think that shade on OP was necessary lol.
minus-squarePsythik@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·8 days agoThe shade absolutely was necessary. This isn’t reddit; have some standards.
minus-squaremexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·8 days agoThe one tagged “female” was just a bottom view and they both look similiar? Is that the joke?
minus-squareJustAnotherKay@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·8 days agoNo there’s no joke. It’s the same beetle, top and bottom. Split down the middle to be genetically male and female
minus-squaremexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 days agoOhh ohh damn lol. Posting two pictures was extremely confusing given “left” and “right”
minus-squareCethin@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 days agoIt’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!
minus-squaremexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 days agoI’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
minus-squarePsythik@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 days agoTo be fair, your images are full of jpeg artifacts. But at least they’re higher res.
minus-squarego $fsck yourself@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 days agoThat’s why I didn’t say anything about jpeg artifacts. Just low quality.
minus-squareraldone01@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-28 days agoReminds 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.
