    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.

          …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).

      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.

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

            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
