Title: New insight into the workings of our Aussie partners......

I'm not sure what it explains ....   but my first thought when I came across this was that it explained a lot  ;D ;D

3. Beetles Die During Sex with Beer Bottles

The sight of a beetle having attempting to mate with a bottle may be funny to any outside observer, but it's fatal for these little insects.

Male Australian jewel beetles can't tell the different between the smooth, brown, dimpled surface at the bottom of a beer bottle and a female of their species.

It's not the attraction, but rather the persistence that kills the males as they fruitlessly endeavor to consummate the union and overheat under the sun in their effort.

dimpled bottoms have never really been a turn on for me - personally  ;)
