MT has an interesting feature ā€“ it's a vibrating insect! Just like putting a phone on vibrate mode, it's quite fascinating. Be careful not to reach out and touch him when he's vibrating; there's a high chance of getting pinched and get hurted! MT is one of the few who cares for stag beetles' female. If you put a male and female beetle together, they will spend the whole day eating and mating.
