Brass Knuckles, Pt. 2 - _TNY_8820
Have a look at the forearms on this marbled rose-chafer (Protaetia marmorata) which I caught eating leftover watermelon in the garden compost bin. Pretty impressive spikes there.
The marbled rose-chafer is the largest rose-chafer in Sweden and just like the other eight species, they have really grippy feet. My son describes it like they've got velcro on the underside - you pick them up and then you literally have to peel them off.
