Who the fuck keeps censoring curse words on Lemmy? Stop that!
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.
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
Holy cow they live up to eight years!
Oh! These are so cute. I keep another type of ironclad beetle, the more commonly known Blue Death Feigning Beetle.
Something diabolic, then refused to die?
