    The ant beetle (Thanasimus formicarius), also known as the European red-bellied clerid, is a medium size insect, rather soft-bodied, with strong mandibles that can tear between the hard sclerotized integument of bark beetles. Larvae and adults are common predators of bark beetles in Europe.

  3. Ant nest beetle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_nest_beetle

    Very little is known about the immature stages of ant nest beetles. Most appear to live in ant nests in their early stages of life. Although many are facultative or obligate myrmecophiles, most do not appear like ants (i.e. myrmecomorphic) and unlike in the case of myrmecophilous larval Lycaenidae, there appears to be no benefit gained by the ants in this association.

    These beetles occur worldwide, and the subfamily includes some 4,500 species in about 80 genera. Established as a family, they were reduced in status to a subfamily of Staphylinidae in 2009 [ 1 ] Many scydmaenine species have a narrowing between head and thorax and thorax and abdomen, resulting in a passing resemblance to ants that inspires ...

  6. Anthia sexmaculata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthia_sexmaculata

    These beetles have an unusual life cycle; young larvae enter ants' nests and remain there feeding on the ants and their larvae. They soon assume the scent of their ant hosts and are accepted as members of the colony. They move about with their bodies lifted high up off the ground to avoid the heat of the substrate.

    Others are kleptoparasites of other invertebrates, such as the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida) that infests honey bee nests, [123] while many species are parasitic inquilines or commensal in the nests of ants. [124] A few groups of beetles are primary parasitoids of other insects, feeding off of, and eventually killing their hosts. [125]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lomechusa_pubicollis

    The beetle larva also feeds on ant larvae as well as smaller larvae of its own species. When fully developed, the beetle larva pupates in the ant colony. [4] When the adult beetle emerges from the pupa, it begs for food one more time before making its way to the surface of the ground. [3]
