critters

I've been getting into insects and other sea creatures lately, specifically mantis and beetles. I'll be blogging about sea critters later on

I haven't know the other species of mantis besides the most known European mantis, but i know a few species of beetles however, Rhinoceros (giant) beetle, Atlas (giant) beetle, Dorcus titanus (stag) beetle, and cyclommatus metallifer (stag) beetle

heres a picture of them

here is a cyclommatus metallifer (stag)(left) and a dorcus titanus (stag)(right)

the difference between a metallifer beetle and dorcus is that a metallifer has longer claws (mandibles (claws)) however moving on, we now have a picture of a rhinoceros beetle and an atlas beetle

the difference between these 2 is a rhinoceros (giant left) and an atlas (giant right) is atlas are probably most likely to be fucking bigger than the rhinos, and that atlas has 2 horns compare to rhino having one horn but small 2 little pointers

I don't know if giant beetles have different development in metamorphosis, but when watching the pupation of a stag beetle, it comes out of its shell being milky white, as it develops more and more its body goes round and round (i dont know why yet don't ask me) and slowly turning brown, and apparently it comes out of the skin peel from the milky white, I don't remember i dont know how i don't remember when i just watched it today

this post was just trying to gather my knowledge on beetles specifically stag beetles since i love them a lot, correct me if i'm wrong

you can watch a video about befriending a stag beetle here

now I will do the either 3; learn about the other animals i've been getting into, sleep, nothing
