Every time you go to say “well, it could have been worse,” I want you to stop and remember that it should have never happened at all.
I will never not reblog dainty deer-stepping beetle
wanna know the best thing about these trilobite beetles?
these are all ladies.
males look like every other beetle out there, but are the same species. it was a huge mystery for the longest time what the hell a male even looked like, or if there even were males, until they issued a money reward and someone brought in a mating pair. and they couldn’t believe that they were even of the same species because of how different they look.

we have an irl species of giant monstrous ladies and tiny dainty plain males

A Weevil (Curculionidae) with waxy decorations produced from its cuticle as a camouflage strategy.
Some weevil species produce a waxy secretion from glands in their cuticle which is used as part of a camouflage strategy. This waxy coat can assume some bizarre shapes and orientations but does nothing to slow down or restrict the weevil’s movement.
