Does it (do they?) stand up like that? Or is this a dead one. Either way it looks bad ass as shit. Like scale it up right, add a artisty style, boom dnd monster.
Fun fact! This beetle is illegal in Florida.
Got dammit, when will they get these illegals out of here already?!?
/s
so many invasive species in flordia.
Americans hate this one simple beetle!

Tell that to Gavin Newsome
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.
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?
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"
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.
Inter-sects
But there are only 2 genders, no in-between
Thats the oldest looking baby I've ever seen
This looks like Turkish actor Mehmet Cerrahoglu, most famous for playing the villian in the horror movie Baskin. He is suffering from Gapo Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder.
"What do you want to drink, Kowalski?"
"MEAT!"
what does Paul Shaffer have to do with this?
That's a can opener beetle
They are turning the beetles Trans!!!!
Obviously beetles aren't smart enough to comprehend 5th grade science.
It's the difference in eyes that messes with me.
Vivec?
Only one way to find out.

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..
I feel immensely awful for this guy
That's really interestng. I assume it's the left photo from above and the right photo from below.

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?
Well, you can see where the legs connect on the right one, but not the left one, so yeah
Elon Musk’s least favorite beetle that isn’t named after Hitler
It must be annoying having mandibles different length like that.
kill me
Later
As is usually the case, the left is very horny
This is some Slaanesh shit!
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.
But which toilet does it use?!
