"Newly Discovered Beetles: Genitals Shaped Like Bottle Openers"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have discovered six new beetle species in South America, including one with a sexual organ shaped like a bottle opener, which they named Loncovilius carlsbergi after the Carlsberg Foundation. The researchers emphasize the urgent need to study and protect unknown species before they become extinct, as climate change threatens their habitats. They also highlight the importance of naming and describing species for conservation efforts. The researchers hope that the unique genitalia of Loncovilius carlsbergi will spark interest in insects and raise awareness about the biodiversity crisis.
