PIC BY EVGENIY MELNIKOV/ CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: The Beetles performing
the lift scene from Dirty Dancing/ fighting) - These beetles look like
their having the time of their lives. But rather than engaging in some
romantic dirty dancing, these male beetles are in fact in a fierce fight
for females. While the victor wins a mate, the loser is thrown from the
tree in the tussle. The battling beetles were photographed by Russian
entrepreneur Evgeniy Melnikov. The 31-year-old, from Voronezh, said: These
beetles have their breeding season in June or July, and usually gather in
groups near deep cracks on the bark of old oaks. SEE CATERS COPY. ***
