Newly discovered beetle looks like Yoda?

A very interesting looking bug, and good photo of it, but I don’t see the resemblance to Yoda.

“A green, shiny beetle that is smaller than a fingernail has been discovered on an Indonesian island and named 'Yoda' due to its uncanny likeness to the diminutive Star Wars Jedi master.

Trigonopterus yoda is one of more than 100 new species of insect discovered and formally names in the thriving rainforest…”

It's interesting with "everything going extinct" every time they go out and look around they find another 100 species they never knew existed.

Likeness, no. Uncanny or otherwise. Clickbait garbage.

Clickbait. Nothing more. You want to see a bug that looks like yoda and you get ads.

This thread certainly was. Of course when I read the title I wasn't thinking insects.
