I thought this was !programmer_humor@programming.dev.

AND, when beetles battle beetles in a puddle paddle battle and the beetle battle puddle is a puddle in a bottle they call it a tweetle beetle bottle puddle paddle battle muddle.

Are insects really that complicated?
Either they have mouth, stinger, or skin, and one or more of them is doing the damage.
- Well some ant spew acid, some millipede puke cyanide, and some will smack you with a nail. Don't go near that one.
- YouTube Channel = Ze Frank True Facts About Everything. Science. And Science. .... with humor .... and puns .... and dad jokes
- I is Entomologist now?

Wait, really?
- No, in fact beetles have complicated mandibles. Flies generally have simpler fused mouthparts. I studied entomology and have no clue what this comic is even saying. Maybe a joke about stingers?
  
  I don't think it's focusing on only mandibles as weapons
  
  As someone who knows nothing about entomology, it reminded me of this one beetle with a comically large pointy bit. I think it's called a hercules beetle.
- First thing that came to mind is the bombardier beetle, which shoot chemicals from their butts.

why has no one remade battle bugs

Big Bad Beetle Borg.
