Who wants to watch a fight? - Page 9

Sexually dimorphic, the males have enlarged mandibles and are larger than the females. Although the male's mandibles seem threatening, they are too weak to be harmful.

A stag bettle cant kill a lobster ..... Even if it is one of the strongest bugs.... It has no venom or real jaws.

The Atlas beetle, Chalcosoma atlas, is a species of beetle found in southern Asia, especially Malaysia, remarkable for its size (25-145 mm). As common in many insect species, the male is larger than the female and usually two males will fight for a female for mating.

Large scarabs such as this can be safely handled, though they can cut your skin with their very sharp claws if adequately provoked. Also, care must be taken not to touch a Chalcosoma just behind the pronotal shield, as there is a razor sharp joint there which the insect can suddenly close and give a rather painful pinch. Beetles this large are extremely strong in relation to their physical size, and one should be a somewhat cautious about placing fingers within range of the mobile horn on the insect's head.

That's an Atlas beetle, not a wimpy stag beetle.

I can't really see bugfights as cruel, they're only insects and we kill them all the time. This shit also happens in nature all the time.

And like I said, they're bugs, whoever gives a damn about this is a major pussy.
