Beetle Fights in Chiang Mai, Thailand!
I, too, have been guilty of playing with insects when I was younger, mostly with preying mantises and dragonflies. But wait, here’s some really cool beetle fights in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I haven’t seen beetles that much in my life but it’s interesting to see the beetles fight. (sorta like insect version of mixed martial arts?)
A female Stag Beetle is placed inside a hollowed-out piece of wood (look carefully on the video and you should make it out) and the two battling beetles are placed on top. They can detect the scent of the female below so they battle it out for the mating rights. Just like old-fashioned log fights the winner is the one who manages to push their love-rival off the wood.
