    I don’t have much to say except why did they censor “fuck” and why did they spell it like the band and not the bug?

      I mean, it’s not like they had the name available to them when they made the meme. It’s not like they could just look at the words they were referencing to see the proper way to spell it.

        Yeah if they had that perhaps they wouldn’t look so foolish. Alas…

    It actually means di-aboly, as in having two abolies. An aboly is an organ exclusively found in beetles that regulates certain hormoes.

    And it’s called ironclad because they are well known for manufacturing and wearing suits of armor.

        That is a ridiculous and baseless accusation that just by chance happens to be true

          Best I could find, it might have to do with how difficult they are to pin in an insect collection

          Apparently you need a drill to get through the shell XD

    Both the name and an appearance could be something of a Dark Souls boss. Or Hollow Knight

    Hardest exoskeleton of any known insect (researchers drove their Toyota over one of them, and it survived)

    And an abnormal long lifespan for a beetle.

    Intresting little critters

    Oh! These are so cute. I keep another type of ironclad beetle, the more commonly known Blue Death Feigning Beetle.
