    Which beetle looks like a giraffe?

    The Giraffe Wevil! It’s insane that these exist. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffe_weevil

          Why, pray, is the shortest watch called the “dog watch”? Because it’s CUR-TAILED! Hah! I have you sir, you’re dished!

          Killick, Killick there! Light along with the Madiera!

          The Aubrey-Maturin books are some of my dearest favorites, and the movie is great fun too.

    There’s a beetle that secretes a burning / poisonous substance whenever it has sex and the female will gladly cover the eggs in said poison to deter predators from eating them.

    This same poison (cantharidin) can be used topically to treat molluscum contagiosum bumps which is a very common virus that affects children for putting their hands absolutely on all dirty surfaces but also in grown adults in the form of a sexually transmitted disease.

    Some places consider it an aphrodisiac but it’s just a poison. Don’t eat it.
