@tikitu A very beautiful #photograph of the beetle #Pygopleurus #vulpes (#Glaphyridae,#Scarabaeoidea), which is native to Greece and Eastern European regions, including Romania, Russia, and Ukraine.The long, contrasting #bodyhairs of the #males are striking, serving as a form of #mimicry to protect them from predators. They mimic the appearance of a defensive #bumblebee, with which birds,for example,have had negative experiences, but also improve pollination, a benefit especially for red plants.

Видел двух человек в шортах, видел цветы на приподъездной клумбе (не в своём районе), и сегодня же пиццерия, что на углу, решила демонтировать новогоднее оформление со своего фасада. #males #flowers #spring #adornment #MW

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

In the jungles of central Klatch there are, indeed, lost kingdoms of mysterious Amazonian princesses who capture male explorers for specifically masculine duties. These are indeed rigorous and exhausting and the luckless victims do not last long.*
 
* This is because wiring plugs, putting up shelves, sorting out the funny noises in attics, and mowing lawns can eventually reduce even the strongest constitution.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 9, Eric (1990)

Why Males Exist by Fred Hapgood, 1979

An Inquiry Into the Evolution of Sex

A provocative examination of why the male gender exists at all shapes up as something of an antidote to the more macho sexual tracts that have been appearing in the wake of sociobiology. (E.g., Wallace, below.) The Atlantic Monthly science columnist goes so far as to say that "males have been devised by females to aid them in their competition with other females."
